Gregory Michael Van Alst (born July 1, 1981) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner. He competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 35 Chevrolet SS/Ford Fusion for his own team, Greg Van Alst Motorsports.
Van Alst made his ARCA Re/Max Series debut in 2002, running three races at Kentucky, Chicagoland, and Salem driving the No. 01 Chevrolet for Robert Locke. He managed his best finish at Chicagoland, coming home in 15th.
Van Alst would not return to the now ARCA Menards Series until 2021, where he would drive for his own team in the No. 35. [1] Van Alst ran eight races and collected three top ten finishes. He finished seventh at Kansas, second at Winchester, and sixth at Michigan. Van Alst would also make his ARCA Menards Series East debut that year at Bristol, finishing 15th.
In 2022, Van Alst would run full-time in the ARCA Series for the first time, finishing fifth in the final points standings and scoring eleven top-tens with a best finish of fifth at Charlotte Motor Speedway. [2] He would also make his ARCA Menards Series West debut that year in a combination race with the main ARCA Menards Series at Phoenix, finishing 36th due to a handling issue.
In 2023, Van Alst scored his first career win at Daytona after making a pass on Jason White on the final lap of the race. [3] [4] He would then go on to finish tenth in two of the next three races. After finishing 22nd at Charlotte due to a crash with Connor Mosack, [5] Van Alst, who had initially elected to run full-time for that year, [6] decided to cut back his ARCA schedule and run select races for the remainder of the season due to financial limitations. [7] [8]
In 2024, Van Alst stated his intentions to compete full-time. [9] Van Alst opened the season with a third-place finish at Daytona. On July 20 following the race at Michigan, Van Alst revealed he would once again revert to part-time status due to lack of sponsorship and manufacturer support. [10] He had competed full-time, and was third in the points standings with one top-five and seven top-tens.
On April 22, 2023, Alpha Prime Racing announced Van Alst would make his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut for the team at Atlanta Motor Speedway. [11] After a near spin in qualifying, Van Alst would crash early and finish 38th. [12] He ran the next race at New Hampshire, where he would finish 38th and last once again due to brake issues. [13]
On July 9, 2024, SS-Green Light Racing announced that Van Alst would run his first Xfinity Series race of the season at Indianapolis, where he finished 32nd due to an ignition issue. [14] He would make an additional start with the team at Darlington, where he finished 29th after starting last.
On August 6, 2023, Van Alst announced that he would make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut in the race at IRP, driving the No. 20 truck for Young's Motorsports. [15] A few days later, on August 9, it was announced that Van Alst would be driving the No. 20 truck for the rest of the 2023 season. [16] At Talladega, Van Alst suffered a fractured vertebrae from a multi-truck accident. [17]
