Jeremy Clements Racing — Team Profile
Series: O'Reilly Auto Parts Series | Manufacturer: Chevrolet Organization Tier: Mid-Tier (Independent)
2026 O'Reilly Program
Jeremy Clements Racing is among the most enduring independent operations in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series — a family team that has kept its own car on the track for more than a decade through resourcefulness, regional sponsorship, and a genuine love of racing. Jeremy Clements is both the driver and the owner, making JCR one of the last true one-man-band operations competing full-time at the national level.

The Organization
Jeremy Clements Racing operates out of Spartanburg, South Carolina — Clements' home region — and runs on a sponsor portfolio of regional businesses: All South Electric, Alliance Driveaway Solutions, One Stop Convenience Store, and Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet. These aren't Fortune 500 partners. They are local businesses that believe in the program, and the relationship between team and sponsor reflects how independent racing actually sustains itself at this level.
2026 Story
Clements' best result of 2026 is an 11th at Phoenix — a result that required nothing short of perfect execution from a car that qualifies in the mid-20s. Two DNFs have cost him in points, and he sits 23rd through eight races. But the JCR story has never been about the standings. It's about showing up every week and doing it the right way.
Clements' landmark moment — a 2017 win at Road America — remains one of the most celebrated upset victories in recent O'Reilly Series history. That win, from an independent team with regional sponsors in an era of increasingly consolidated resources, is still cited as evidence that the series' middle tier is worth watching. It is also why Jeremy Clements Racing is one of the first files GNT should have on its shelf.
