Late last year, it was initially announced that Carson Kvapil would not run the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series full-time during the 2026 season. However, after Kvapil made a deep run through the Playoffs a season ago, funding was found that allowed the driver to move to a full-time schedule.
On Wednesday, the driver finally revealed the final component of his 2026 schedule, which will officially make him a full-time competitor this season.
Kvapil will pilot the No. 91 Chevrolet for DGM Racing in four NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series events, beginning with Circuit of the Americas next weekend.

The young talent will return to the No. 91 machine at Watkins Glen International on Saturday, May 9, Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 23, and Sonoma Raceway on Saturday, June 27.
In addition to his four-race stint in the No. 91 DGM Racing Chevrolet, Kvapil will run 23 races behind the wheel of the No. 1 JR Motorsports Chevrolet, and six races in the No. 9 JR Motorsports Chevrolet.
While the 22-year-old driver hasn’t scored a victory yet in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, he has shown incredible consistency through the opening 43 races of his career in the series. Kvapil heads into this weekend’s race at EchoPark Speedway with 10 top-five finishes and 19 top-10s throughout his young career.
