Whilst speaking to Ellis confirmed his exit following a discreet notification by his agency to the team. Ellis explained:
“Being part of Alpha Prime has meant so much to me.
They helped me achieve a lifelong dream of racing full-time in NASCAR and I’ve had so much fun working with this group over the last few years.
“I feel like I’ve learned so much this year, and I’ll forever be thankful for the opportunity they provided me.
Alpha Prime truly became my first “home” in the sport, and everyone there will forever feel like family.
Since joining Alpha Prime Racing in 2022, Ellis has established himself as a formidable competitor in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
Throughout his three-season stint with the team, he has participated in 71 events, with his most notable performances including two 11th-place finishes.
His 2023 season was particularly hectic as he raced in 31 out of the 33 events on the NASCAR Xfinity Series calendar.
The roots of Alpha Prime Racing, formerly known as Martins Motorsports, date back to 2009.
The team experienced a brief hiatus before returning in 2022 under a new partnership structure.
This revival was spearheaded by Caesar Bacarella’s involvement through his fitness brand, breathing new life into the team known for fostering upcoming talent like Ellis.
