Carson Kvapil Finalizes Full-Time 2026 O’Reilly Series Campaign With Four-Race DGM Slate

Backing secured after last season’s playoff surge enabled a full-season program built around JR Motorsports entries supplemented by four DGM dates.

Overview

  • DGM Racing confirmed Kvapil will drive the No. 91 at Circuit of the Americas next weekend, then Watkins Glen on May 9, Charlotte on May 23, and Sonoma on June 27.
  • Those appearances complete a full-season lineup that also features 23 starts in JR Motorsports’ No. 1 Chevrolet and six in the team’s No. 9.
  • Kvapil was initially not slated for a full-time 2026 run, but funding following his deep playoff run opened the path to a complete schedule.
  • The 22-year-old enters the year still seeking his first series win, with 10 top-five finishes and 19 top-10s across 43 O’Reilly Series starts.
  • He sits third in the current standings after a seventh-place finish at Daytona and is set to race this Saturday at EchoPark Speedway.
