Overview
- Retzlaff announced on Nov. 3 that he will not return to Alpha Prime Racing next season, thanking co-owners Tommy Joe Martins and Caesar Bacarella.
- In his lone APR campaign he recorded three top-10s, including a career-best second at Rockingham, and ranked 22nd in points after a DNQ at Circuit of the Americas.
- Alpha Prime is co-owned by Bacarella and Martins, and Bacarella said in late October he did not expect Retzlaff to be back.
- EssentiallySports reported a pit-road confrontation at Phoenix between Martins and crew chief Joe Williams over tire decisions; Martins later described it as a minor disagreement, and any connection to Retzlaff’s exit has not been confirmed.
- Retzlaff joined APR this year after two seasons with Jordan Anderson Racing and said his 2026 plans will be announced later.
