2026 Fantasy Outlook
Ellis moves from DGM Racing and will take over one of the two full-time teams at Young's Motorsports. He'll pilot the No. 02 Chevrolet. There is a full plate of sponsors on this car, so the funding is well-established. However, we don't know at the point of this writing who will serve as crew chief for Ellis. The journeyman driver earned one Top-10 and eight Top-20 finishes with his former DGM team last season. The 24.4 average finish is pretty much in line with the statistics he's posted most of his recent career in the O'Reilly Series. With 164 starts of experience to his credit, which is one thing that helps Ellis. However, the potential of this race team's impact is limited to say the least. Read Past Outlooks
Sponsor Named
Keen Parts will sponsor Ellis in six races during the 2023 Xfinity Series season, Alpha Prime Racing announced over the weekend.
ANALYSIS
Ellis will be back with Alpha Prime Racing in 2023. He made 11 starts for this team last season with five Top-20 finishes to his credit. Keen Parts will sponsor Ellis for six events in the upcoming campaign as he will expand his schedule to 24 or more events in 2023. Ellis has a past relationship with Keen Parts, so this sponsorship package comes as no surprise.

Ellis comes over from the No. 43 team of owner Tommy Joe Martins and takes over the seat of the No. 71 Chevrolet of DGM Racing. Last season Ellis earned a career-high points finish of 23rd-place with seven Top-20 finishes. The 35-year-old driver now has over 130 starts in this division of NASCAR and he's still seeking his first-career Top 10. Ellis will look to log that first Top 10 with a capable DGM Racing squad. This team collected six combined Top 10's between their two cars and multiple drivers, so there's plenty of upside here. We don't have any word on who will be crew chief of this team, but they have a full sponsorship lineup and appear to be well funded for the 2025 campaign. Ellis should push to new heights in the upcoming season.
