DGM Racing Signs Derek Lemke for NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Debut at Iowa Speedway

Lake Wales, Fla., (August 3, 2026) - DGM Racing is proud to announce the signing of part-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Derek Lemke for his NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series debut on August 8, 2026, at Iowa Speedway in the HYVEE PERKS 250. Lemke will pilot the No. 91 Chevrolet carrying the colors of Crankshaft Supply, Rack Shack BBQ, and Burch Farms. 

A native of Delano, Minnesota, Lemke has built an impressive racing résumé over more than a decade of competition. His passion for motorsports has taken him from grassroots short tracks across the country to the national stage, competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series while earning a reputation as a determined and versatile racer.

"Derek has worked incredibly hard throughout his racing career, and we're excited to welcome him to the DGM Racing family," said Mario Gosselin, owner of DGM Racing. "He's proven himself in a variety of race cars over the years, and we're looking forward to seeing what he can accomplish behind the wheel of our No. 91 Chevrolet."

For Lemke, the opportunity marks another milestone in a lifelong pursuit of racing at NASCAR's highest levels.

"I've dreamed about opportunities like this since I was a kid racing in Minnesota, and Iowa Speedway has been a track I’ve always wanted to race at,” said Lemke. "I'm incredibly grateful to DGM Racing, Crankshaft Supply, Rack Shack BBQ, Burch Farms, and everyone who has believed in me throughout my career. To make my NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series debut with such an experienced team is something I've worked toward for a long time, and I can't wait to get to Iowa Speedway."

Lemke and his wife, fellow NASCAR driver Natalie Decker, reside in North Carolina with their 18-month-old son, Levi. Decker currently competes in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, making the family one of NASCAR's unique husband-and-wife racing duos.

The August 8th event at Iowa Speedway will mark an exciting new chapter for Lemke as he continues to build on a career defined by perseverance, determination, and an unwavering passion for racing.
