The Record‑Breaking Milestone
Jeremy Clements is poised to rewrite the record books as he prepares for his 548th career start in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, a milestone that will eclipse the long‑standing mark set by Kenny Wallace.
A New Chapter in Kannapolis
The upcoming event will take place on the temporary street circuit at Naval Base Coronado, just outside San Diego, where Clements will pilot the No. 51 entry fielded by his family‑run Jeremy Clements Racing, now operating under a strategic partnership with the Haas Factory Team.
The move to Kannapolis marks a significant shift for the Spartanburg‑based organization, which has called the North Carolina campus home since early 2026, a partnership that brings technical resources from the renowned Haas program while preserving the team’s independent spirit.
A Veteran's Road‑Course pedigree
Clements, a 41‑year‑old veteran from South Carolina, has already tasted success on road courses, most notably his upset victory at the Johnsonville 180 at Road America in 2023, and he added a second win at Daytona International Speedway in 2022, propelling him to 19th in the points standings as he eyes a fourth playoff appearance.
With a special paint scheme honoring Kenny Wallace’s career, Clements hopes to translate his recent summer surge into a strong finish at the Coronado Street Course, a venue where his road‑course pedigree could finally pay off in a competitive showing.
