MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Rette Jones Racing confirmed that the team and driver Kyle Steckly have parted ways.
Steckly competed full-time in the 2024 and 2025 ASA STARS National Tour seasons with Rette Jones Racing, showcasing speed, delivering strong results and proving himself as a consistent contender throughout one of the most competitive and demanding pavement short-track championships in the country.
His tenure with RJR included a signature moment in 2024, when he captured a breakthrough victory in the prestigious Red Bud 400 at Anderson (Ind.) Speedway, one of the crown-jewel events in American late model racing.
Rette Jones Racing also fielded an entry for the Canadian driver in his ARCA Menards Series debut during the season-opening event this past February at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway.
Together, the pairing produced multiple strong performances, strengthened the team’s short-track footprint, and contributed to the continued growth of RJR’s driver development pipeline.
“This was a mutual decision that allows both sides to move forward toward their long-term goals,” said Mark Rette, co-owner of Rette Jones Racing. “We appreciate everything Kyle and his partners brought to our program and we wish him nothing but success in the next chapter of his career.”
Rette Jones Racing will announce updated plans for its late model and national tour schedules in the coming weeks as the organization continues preparing for the 2026 racing season across its expanding U.S. and international platforms.
“We’re extremely excited about what we have lined up for 2026,” added Rette. “Our program keeps growing — on the short tracks, on the national stage and even internationally with our NASCAR Euro Series efforts.
“We have several announcements coming that will help elevate our driver development ladder and strengthen our presence in both the U.S. and Europe. This next year is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious in our team’s history, and we’re looking forward to sharing those details soon.”
