Tyler Ankrum is entering his first ever NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. Jordan Anderson Racing has Ankrum listed as the driver of the No. 32 Chevrolet.
According to the official Ag-Pro 300 entry list, Ankrum will be sponsored by LiUNA and the TDA Investment Group. LiUNA, the Laborers’ International Union of North America, is a longtime sponsor of Ankrum in the Truck Series.
Dating back to 2018, Ankrum has made 167 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. He has two career wins and scored a career-best fourth-place points finish in the 2025 season. Last October Ankrum finished sixth in the Truck Series race at Talladega, his best result there to date.
So far in 2026, Ankrum has two top-ten finishes in six Truck Series starts. One of those was a ninth-place run at Daytona International Speedway to open the year. That success could be an indicator of Ankrum’s comfort at drafting tracks, poising him for a potentially strong debut in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.
The No. 32 Jordan Anderson Racing Chevrolet has had four drivers in the first ten races of the 2026 season. Rajah Caruth has run five of those, splitting his season between JAR and JR Motorsports. Ross Chastain and Andrew Patterson have run two races apiece, while team owner Jordan Anderson drove the car to a fourth-place finish at Daytona in February.
