Mike Albert Fleet Solutions, one of the top-10 fleet management companies in the nation, will partner with NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Ryan Ellis and DGM Racing in 2025, the team announced on Tuesday.
The white, green, and black colors of the brand will adorn the No. 71 Chevrolet in the August 22 event at Daytona International Speedway, in addition to the company’s season-long associate sponsorship.
“Ryan’s approach to racing is a lot like how we manage fleets — it’s all about smart data and peak performance,” said Marty Kuhn, President of Mike Albert. “Just as Ryan relies on data to help maintain his car for optimum performance and safety, we do the same for tens of thousands of vehicles in the fleets we manage. NASCAR is just plain exciting, and Ryan embodies the spirit of precision and passion.”
Ellis, who has been competing in NASCAR’s top-three series in some capacity since 2012, is still on the hunt for his first career top-10 finish, with a career-best of 11th at Talladega (Spring 2023) and Daytona (February 2024).
The 35-year-old driver moved to DGM Racing this season to pilot the organization’s No. 71 Chevrolet, after spending the last several seasons driving for Alpha Prime Racing.
After the first eight races of the 2025 campaign, the Ashburn, Virginia-native sits 26th in NASCAR Xfinity Series point standings, with four top-20 finishes to start the season — the best of which is a 16th at Circuit of The Americas.
“Mike Albert gets it — I’m impressed with the volume of data that Mike Albert relies on to ensure the vehicles in their fleets are well cared for so that they operate efficiently and safely,” said Ryan Ellis. “They keep thousands of vehicles running smoothly, just like my race team, DGM Racing, does with my race car. It’s a perfect match.”
The Wawa 250 Powered by Coca-Cola will take place on Friday, August 22 at Daytona International Speedway, with live coverage on The CW.
