Ford has had no full-time presence in the secondary level of NASCAR this year, following the shuttering of Am Racing early in the year.
Alpha Prime said of the OEM change that they will "begin to phase in Ford equipment for select races to round out the 2026 season."
The team is co-owned by Tommy Joe Martins, Caesar Bacarella, as well as Craig Martins. Former NASCAR executive Jusan Hamilton is the team president, previously working as the sport's managing direction of competition operations.
This year, Poole sits 17th in the driver's standings, while rookie Scott is 26th. They occasionally enter a third entry, the No. 4 car.
Alpha Prime formed at the start of the 2020s and while they've never visited Victory Lane, the team has scored five top fives and 19 top tens with a best finish at Rockingham in 2025 (Parker Retzlaff).
Currently, there are no full-time Ford teams as mentioned, but also only six full-time Toyota teams, giving Chevrolet's the lion's share of full-time entries at over 20.
