AVONDALE, Ariz. — Jordan Anderson Racing announced another key component to its 2027 plans Friday, signing veteran Brennan Poole as full-time driver of its No. 31 Chevrolet in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series next season.
The announcement came at Phoenix Raceway, site of Saturday’s Timberland PRO 200 (7:30 p.m. ET, The CW, ESPN Unlimited, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Chase.

Poole replaces Blaine Perkins, who spent the last two years with the Anderson organization but will join Sam Hunt Racing’s No. 24 team in the 2027 campaign. Poole makes the move after a three-year tenure with Alpha Prime Racing, which said Monday that the 35-year-old driver would depart at season’s end.
Poole will compete next season alongside full-time teammate Daniel Dye, who was tapped as driver of Anderson’s No. 32 Chevrolet on Aug. 28 with a multiyear agreement. Plans for the team’s third full-time entry — the No. 27 Chevy currently driven by Jeb Burton — are still to be announced. Burton will leave for RSS Racing at the end of the season, completing a four-year stint at JAR that brought the organization its only O’Reilly Series win (Talladega, 2023).
Poole has competed in six full seasons of O’Reilly Auto Parts Series competition, with a best finish in the standings of sixth in 2017. The Texas native, who has made 301 starts across NASCAR’s three national series in his career, currently ranks 17th in the O’Reilly Series standings.
