Ford will not be competing in the NASCAR O'Reilly Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. On Monday evening, NASCAR released the O'Reilly Series entry list for Texas and it didn't include Hettinger Racing. The organization has been the lone Ford entry since AM Racing withdrew Nick Sanchez's No. 25 car in early April.

This is a shocking development for the manufacturer, as it now has zero cars competing in the O'Reilly Series. AM Racing started the 2026 NASCAR season with Sanchez as its full-time driver, but it didn't last long before they stopped showing up the track. Meanwhile, Hettinger Racing was full-time with part-time drivers.

It is unclear when AM Racing or Hettinger Racing will return to the O'Reilly Series. Therefore, there is no way of telling when Ford will return to the O'Reilly during the 2026 NASCAR season. This is a very disappointing outcome and hopefully, Ford can return to the NASCAR level with Chevrolet and Toyota soon.
