Alex Labbé, a seasoned veteran in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, previously known as the NASCAR Xfinity Series, will return for the 2026 season with SS-Greenlight Racing. Under his partial schedule, Labbé will be driving the No. 0 Chevrolet Camaro (which ran as the No. 14 last season) for all five road course events of 2026.
Labbé’s first race of the season is scheduled for February 28 at COTA. Following this, the former NASCAR Canada Series champion will make appearances at Watkins Glen International on May 9, Naval Base Coronado on June 20, Sonoma Raceway on June 27, and the Charlotte ROVAL on October 10.
“I’m really excited to be staying with SS-GreenLight Racing,” Labbé said of the opportunity in a statement. “We have had some great runs over the years, and I’m looking forward to building on that with some good runs this year.”
Bobby Dotter, owner of SS-GreenLight Racing, said in a statement,
“We are so excited to have Alex back in the car next year. He has brought so much to our program, and we can’t wait to build on the successes we have had in the past.”
Last year, Labbé made seven Xfinity starts with SS-GreenLight Racing’s No. 07 entry. In those seven starts, the 32-year-old speedster amassed three top-15 finishes. And during his entire career in NASCAR’s national series, Labbé has gathered one top-five and 13 top-10s.
Xfinity Reveals Terms Of Involvement With NASCAR After Shift To O’Reilly Auto Parts Series
Beginning in 2026, the NASCAR Xfinity Series will be known as the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. Xfinity will no longer be the naming partner of the American racing series.
However, Xfinity will remain involved with NASCAR throughout 2026. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), the team announced,
“We’re still a Premier Partner of the NASCAR Cup Series, a team sponsor of [23XI Racing] , have the Xfinity 500 for fall [Martinsville Speedway], & the Xfinity Fastest Lap Award, for all three national series. It’s only a farewell for that part.”
The 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series will kick off with the United Rentals 300 at Daytona International Speedway. Scheduled for February 14, the 120-lap event will be televised on CW, with radio updates available on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (beginning at 5 pm ET).
