Following a brief stint in the ARCA Menards Series with Rette Jones Racing in 2025, Cleetus McFarland was given the opportunity to make his NASCAR national series debut in the 2026 Craftsman Truck Series season opener at Daytona International Speedway with Niece Motorsports. But McFarland, whose real name is Garrett Mitchell, will not be the only RCR driver to make his NASCAR national series debut in 2026. But despite being an RCR development driver, Brown's national series debut will not come in an RCR car. Hill has driven that car in each race since Busch's passing while continuing to compete full-time in the O'Reilly Series. The Hy-Vee PERKS 250 is set to be broadcast live on the CW Network from Iowa Speedway starting at 5:00 p.m.
