JR Motorsports has announced that Champion Irrigation Products will support Carson Kvapil as a sponsor for three NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series races during the 2026 season. The Carson Kvapil Champion Irrigation sponsor partnership will see the brand’s colors featured on his No. 1 car, with appearances scheduled at key races throughout the year.
Champion Irrigation Aligns with Kvapil at Key Venues
The partnership begins with a race at Darlington Raceway in March, where Champion Irrigation will first appear on Kvapil’s vehicle. Following Darlington, Champion Irrigation’s branding will be displayed at Talladega Superspeedway in April and Phoenix Raceway in October. These events are important stops in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, offering significant exposure for both Kvapil and his new sponsor.
JR Motorsports, a notable name in motorsports, welcomed Champion Irrigation into their network, emphasizing the opportunity such sponsorships bring for both the brand and the athlete involved.
“We are thrilled to bring Champion Irrigation to the JR Motorsports family in 2026,”
Kelley Earnhardt Miller, JRM CEO, said in the team announcement.
“As an existing fixture in motorsports we are excited for the opportunity to help them make the leap into the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and are looking forward to a successful season for Champion Irrigation with Carson and the No. 1 team.”

Kvapil’s Racing Schedule and Recent Achievements
Although Champion Irrigation’s primary sponsorship covers three major events, Carson Kvapil is set to participate throughout the full O’Reilly Series schedule in 2026, with many starts in the No. 1 car for JR Motorsports. This commitment comes after a productive 2025 season, his first full-time campaign with the team, during which Kvapil achieved seven top-five finishes and 14 top-ten results, culminating in a fourth-place spot in the series points standings.
Growing Momentum for Kvapil and JR Motorsports
Kvapil’s growing profile and solid results have positioned him as a promising competitor in NASCAR’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and the new partnership with Champion Irrigation is poised to provide further momentum for his career. JR Motorsports and their partners, such as Champion Irrigation, are looking ahead to a season that could bring more attention, opportunities, and potential success for both the driver and the company as they navigate some of the most iconic tracks on the circuit in 2026.
Ready to grow us a Champion.
