Bobby Dale Earnhardt will miss Indianapolis Raceway Park after Rise Motorsports failed to secure enough backing for the No. 89 Chevrolet.
Earnhardt, who began the 2026 ARCA Menards Series with a career‑best ninth at Daytona, positioned himself seventh among the full‑season competitors but recorded only one top‑ten finish and four failures to finish in the first 12 races.
His season average sits at 20.5 points, and he has 17 ARCA starts to his name, supplemented by seven O’Reilly Auto Parts appearances between 2017 and 2019, with a best finish of 27th.
Peerless Pump Company will back Brayton Laster behind the wheel of the No. 89 for the Indianapolis round, as the team pushes to reopen the door on the ARCA front.
Jeffrey Earnhardt, Bobby’s brother, continues his own pursuit in NASCAR, with his team declaring a mission to secure a race‑winning attempt and a shot at first‑place in the near future.
