Daniel Dye, the 22‑year‑old American driver, will take the wheel of the No. 32 Chevrolet in the 2027 O'Reilly Auto Parts Series as part of a multi‑year agreement with Jordan Anderson Racing. The deal marks a strategic move for Dye, who has been rebuilding his reputation after a brief but high‑profile suspension earlier this year.
A comeback after controversy
In March 2026, Dye was suspended for making inappropriate comments about IndyCar competitor David Malukas during a live stream. The incident prompted a period of reflection, after which Dye completed a mandatory sensitivity‑training program. He emerged with a renewed focus, securing a four‑race arrangement in the NASCAR Cup Series with Live Fast Motorsports and a four‑race contract in the O'Reilly Series with JAR for the current season.
Dye's racing résumé includes 48 starts in the O'Reilly Series, where he has amassed ten top‑ten finishes and a best result of seventh place. His 2025 championship campaign culminated in a 20th‑overall finish, underscoring his capability to compete at a high level despite limited resources.
The new lineup and competition
Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport will field the No. 32 Chevrolet for Dye, while also running the No. 31 and No. 27 entries throughout the O'Reilly schedule. In 2026, the team relies on Jeb Burton and Blaine Perkins as its full‑time drivers, creating a layered driver roster that blends experience with emerging talent.
Dye's debut with JAR is slated for the season‑opening race at Daytona in February 2027. The Florida venue, known for its high‑speed banking and unpredictable weather, will serve as the first test of the new driver‑team combination and the Chevrolet package.
Looking ahead
The partnership with Chevrolet adds a layer of technical and branding support that could prove decisive as Dye navigates a crowded schedule. With a multi‑year contract in place, the driver hopes to translate early momentum into consistent results, aiming to climb beyond the mid‑pack performances that have defined much of his early career.
