Logan Seavey announced that he made the decision to depart from Abacus Racing after four years with the team.
Seavey made the announcement in a post to social media. He wrote, “After four successful years together, I have made the difficult decision to step away from my role with Abacus Racing, effective immediately. I am grateful for the opportunity to compete with the team and for everything we were able to accomplish during our time together.”
“I am incredibly thankful for Brent, John, Ken, Kirk, Daniel, Johnny, Ronnie, Trevor, Chad, and every partner who contributed to the team. The hard work and support from these people doesn’t go unnoticed and is what contributed to our success,” he added.
As for what his plans are for 2027, Seavey said he does not have any at this time, “At this time, I do not have plans in place for 2027. I am looking forward to exploring my options and finding the right opportunity to continue competing at a high level next season.”
“Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years,” Seavey concluded. “I will share more details once my plans for 2027 are finalized.”
Seavey and the Abacus Racing team started off the 2026 season strong and led the points standings for the first seven races after wins in Florida at Volusia and Ocala that led to a Winter Dirt Games Championship. He would not return to victory lane until September at Lernerville, where he beat Kyle Cummins in a photo finish by just .061 seconds. He had 10 Top 5s, 28 Top 10s, and an average finish of 9.85 according to The Third Turn. He ended up finishing ninth in the points standings.
Before this year the team won the 2023 USAC National Midget Championship as well as the Silver Crown title. In 2024, they won the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Championship with a record-tying 14 wins.
Seavey’s departure ends one of the more productive recent driver-team combinations in USAC national competition. He leaves as a multi-time champion and a member of the USAC career Triple Crown club. With no 2027 plans announced yet, attention will turn to where the two-time Chili Bowl Nationals champion lands for the upcoming season.
One possibility could be a return to Late Models. Seavey dipped his toes in Late Models throughout 2024. He had a best finish of 8th at Clay County Fair Speedway. He had plans to expand his schedule in 2025, but unfortunately those plans never panned out.
Nevertheless, Seavey recently shared in an appearance on The Dirt Parlor he hopes to continue his Late Model career, ““Hopefully, my Late Model career as a driver isn’t over yet,” he shared. “I’m hoping to find something to go race a little bit more. I didn’t have the most stellar runs my first couple efforts. I’d love to give it another go.”
He later added, “Wish I could have done it more and still wish I could do it more. So, hopefully, that chapter’s not over. Even too I got myself a Late Model seat. Daryn Pittman dialed me in with a nice, perfect UltraShield. So I got a seat ready to go whenever I find a car to drive.”
