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 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 35 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro for his own team, Greg Van Alst Motorsports and part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 19 Chevrolet SS for Maples Motorsports. He has previously competed in what is now the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series.
Racing career
ARCA Menards Series
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 fifteenth.
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 Menards 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, before racing at Michigan, Van Alst revealed he would once again revert to part-time status due to a lack of sponsorship and manufacturer support.[10] He had competed full-time until that point and was third in the points standings. Van Alst would return to race at Bristol and Kansas, ultimately finishing eleventh in the points standings.
On January 27, 2026, it was announced that Van Alst will return to the series at Daytona, driving the No. 19 Chevrolet for Maples Motorsports.[11][12]
NASCAR Xfinity Series
On April 22, 2023, Alpha Prime Racing announced Van Alst would make his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut for the team at Atlanta Motor Speedway.[13] After a near spin in qualifying, Van Alst would crash early and finish 38th.[14] He ran the next race at New Hampshire, where he would finish 38th and last once again due to brake issues.[15]
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.[16] He would make an additional start with the team at Darlington, where he finished 29th after starting last. He ran three more races for the team at Bristol, Martinsville, and Phoenix, earning his best finish of 26th in the latter.
On December 16, 2024, it was announced that Van Alst would run the majority of the 2025 season with Joey Gase Motorsports, driving the No. 35 car.[17] Van Alst would later downsize his schedule to focus more on his Truck Series team.
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
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.[18] 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.[19] At Talladega, Van Alst suffered a fractured vertebrae from a multi-truck accident.[20]
On July 7, 2025, Van Alst announced he would drive for his own team in four Truck Series races throughout the 2025 season.[21]
