Alexander Daniel Malycke (born October 9, 1984) is a Ukrainian-born American professional stock car racing driver who competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series and the ARCA Menards Series West, driving the No. 86 Ford for Clubb Racing Inc.

Racing career

In 2016, Malycke made his debut in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West at All American Speedway, driving the No. 08 Toyota for Kevin McCarty.

After running Super Late Models at Las Vegas Motor Speedway he would successfully qualify for the 2019 Chilly Willy 150 at Tucson Speedway. That finish would lead to a Lucas Oil Modified Series start in Las Vegas. ^[1]

In 2023, he served as the crew chief and lead mechanic for Dale Shearer in the ARCA Menards Series East, where the team earned a top-ten finish at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway.

Malycke's No. 21 car at Phoenix Raceway in 2024

In November 2024, Malycke would return to the ARCA Menards Series West at Phoenix Raceway, driving the No. 21 Toyota for Nascimento Motorsports with sponsorship from comedian Jackie Martling. ^{[2] [3] [4]}

On March 4, 2025, it was revealed that Malycke would attempt to make his ARCA Menards Series debut at Phoenix Raceway, driving for Clubb Racing Inc. and the No. 86 Ford. ^{[5] [6] [7] [8]} He ultimately finished 34th and last after failing to take the start due to mechanical issues. ^{[9] [10]}

Controversy

In Malycke's West Series debut in 2016, the car he drove was rumored to be both engineered and funded by 2d6 Chess, ^[11] a gaming company that appeared to be owned by Charles Severance of Alexandria, Virginia, but later proven to be owned by Chess.com. ^[12] Although much remains a mystery, it was later revealed that car was originally built and acquired from Michael Waltrip Racing.^{[ citation needed ]}
