2024 Fantasy Outlook
The veteran driver returns to the car that he drove most of the time last season. Ellis made 31 of the 33 events, only ceding his seat for some road courses and one superspeedway start. He would collect three Top-15 finishes and register 25th in the driver standings of 2024. For a driver who's competed in 11 different Xfinity Series seasons, surprisingly, this was just Ellis' first full campaign. It's not been announced but it is expected that he would continue on with Mike Brandt at crew chief. The two worked together last season and have now established some chemistry and communication. The No. 43 Chevrolet team is likely looking at a very similar performance to last year in the upcoming season. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Ellis will be back with Alpha Prime Racing in 2023. He made 11 starts for this team last season with five Top-20 finishes to his credit. Keen Parts will sponsor Ellis for six events in the upcoming campaign as he will expand his schedule to 24 or more events in 2023. Ellis has a past relationship with Keen Parts, so this sponsorship package comes as no surprise.

Alpha Prime is expanding to three cars in 2023 and they've signed Ellis to drive their No. 43 entry. Ellis competed part-time for this team last season, making 11 starts and earning five Top-20 finishes and a 22.9 average finish for the campaign. He gets the promotion to a near full-time slate of 24 or more starts in the No. 43 Chevrolet in 2023. Sponsorship has lined up behind the effort and will put Ellis in as many races as they can in the upcoming season. Intermediate ovals appear to be this driver and team's strength, so Ellis holds some fantasy racing value on those style tracks.
Made one Cup Series start with Rick Ware Racing last season in the No. 15 Ford. 2022 plans have not been announced.
