MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Continuing its relationship with veteran NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series driver Ryan Ellis, Sweetwater Construction will return for the 2026 season, joining Young’s Motorsports for a four-race campaign beginning March 21 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway.
In addition to Darlington, the Sweetwater Construction livery will appear at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway on May 16, Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway on June 27, with a fourth race to be announced later this season.
Sweetwater Construction is a Cranbury, N.J.-based construction management and general contracting firm delivering high-quality construction solutions throughout New Jersey.
“Sweetwater Construction has been an incredible partner over the past three seasons,” said Ellis. “They’ve really embraced the motorsports environment and what NASCAR can offer from a marketing and relationship standpoint.
“I’m proud to represent their brand again in 2026, and I’m grateful for their continued belief in what we’re building with Young’s Motorsports starting at Darlington Raceway in a few weeks.”
Company principal Ronald C. Witt Jr. is excited to continue the company’s relationship with Ellis this season, while also aligning with a family-oriented and professional organization like Young’s Motorsports.
“Ryan is a wonderful partner and a tenacious competitor,” offered Witt Jr. “His devotion to family and dedication to his craft were obvious at the onset and struck chords within me.
“Grounded and focused individuals are key characteristics of Sweetwater team members, which is why this partnership is special. When good people surround themselves with other good people, success is sure to follow.”
Ellis, a native of Ashburn, Va., is set to make his 11th NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series start at the track dubbed “Too Tough To Tame.”
“Darlington is one of the toughest tracks we visit all season,” said Ellis. “It demands a lot of patience and discipline as a driver, because the track changes so much during a run.”
