The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is expanding its Fentanyl Free America campaign into NASCAR, with the No. 99 Fentanyl Free America Chevrolet set to race at Daytona International Speedway on August 28, 2026, and Charlotte Motor Speedway on October 10, 2026, the agency announced.
Driver Parker Retzlaff will pilot the car at both races. The announcement came on National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day.
The expansion builds on an earlier collaboration at the Andy's Frozen Custard 340 at Texas Motor Speedway on May 2, 2026, the first time the Fentanyl Free America initiative had partnered with a NASCAR team, the DEA said.
Since launching the Fentanyl Free America initiative in 2025, the DEA has seized more than 32 million fentanyl pills and 12,300 pounds of fentanyl powder — an estimated 298 million potentially deadly doses removed from communities, according to the agency. Separately, synthetic opioid deaths, which include fentanyl, declined by more than 10,000 deaths from 2024 to 2025.
