SS GreenLight Racing has signed Alex Labbe and Garrett Smithley to drive the number zero car in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.
A Canadian Series champion, Alex Labbe is the “road ringer” to drive the road course races at COTA, Watkins Glen, Naval Base Coronado, Sonoma, and the Charlotte Roval.
This will be the second season that Labbe will be driving for SS GreenLight. Labbe spoke on his return saying, “I’m really excited to be staying with SS-GreenLight Racing. We have had some great runs over the years, and I’m looking forward to building on that with some good runs this year.”
SS GreenLight owner Bobby Dotter spoke on Labbe’s return saying, “we are so excited to have Alex [Labbe] back in the car next year. He has brought so much to our program, and we can’t wait to build on the successes we have had in the past.”
Garrett Smithley is listed as the “anchor” driver of the zero car.
Smithley spoke on driving for SS Green Light saying, “I am super happy and thankful to be back with SS-GreenLight Racing and BRK Racing. Last year was the first time working with Bobby [Dotter] for more than a couple one-off races and he was great to work with. We definitely want to continue to improve the program, so having Beth and Randy back will be instrumental in that. We have put some things in place to make the 2026 season a success and I’m very thankful for all the support from our sponsors and fans.”
SS GreenLight is getting support from BRK Racing with both teams leasing engines from ECR Engines.
Beth Knighton of BRK Racing spoke on the upcoming season saying, “2025 was a big learning curve for us, but we had a great year and we are looking to improve on that. We love working with Bobby and Garrett and we are excited about the program we are building for this coming season.”
Randy Knighton added, “we are thankful to be back with SS-GreenLight Racing and Garrett. I’ve been in racing for a long time, so having this opportunity to be a part of the SSGL ownership group has been a lot of fun. We expect to continue to grow and move up the standings for 2026.”
