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.

Racing career

As a marketing student at Virginia Tech, he responded to a volunteer pit crew ad at nearby Old Dominion Speedway. That quickly lead to a 100 lap test session with #5 Late Model Stock Car owner Mike Southard. He would soon run the marketing efforts for both Gunselman Motorsports & E&M Motorsports part-time NASCAR Cup Series teams.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}

In late 2012, Malycke would pair up with Ted Christopher at CFG Bank Arena and compete in several midget car racing indoor auto races in Allen County War Memorial Coliseum & Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.{{citation needed|date=February 2025}} File:Alexandria Dive Club Racecar.jpg]]

In 2016, Malycke made his debut in a surprise entry at the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Championship Finale at All American Speedway, driving the No. 08 Toyota for Kevin McCarty, where he ran 123/151 laps until a transmission failure late in the race.

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, a familiar site.{{cite web|url=https://thethirdturn.com/wiki/Alex_Malycke|title=Alex Malycke |work=The Third Turn|access-date=November 5, 2024}}

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.

In May 2024, Malycke was originally scheduled to make his ARCA Menards Series East debut at Flat Rock Speedway driving a car owned by Brandon McKenzie{{cite web|url=https://x.com/arcafan_news/status/1820843376683446341|title=Racecar Ends Up In Illinois Cornfield.|work=Twitter.com|access-date=September 12, 2024}} but operated by the notorious Roger Carter who stole the racecar. The recovered car is now expected to debut at Nashville Fairgrounds in May with Malycke again at the wheel.{{citation needed|date=February 2025}}

In November 2024, Malycke would return to the ARCA Menards Series West at Phoenix Raceway, driving the No. 21 Toyota for Nascimento Motorsports.{{cite web|url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2024/11/05/entry-list-desert-diamond-casino-west-valley-100-at-phoenix-raceway-3/|title=Entry list: Desert Diamond Casino West Valley 100 at Phoenix Raceway |website=ARCA Racing |date=November 5, 2024}}{{cite web |first=Kevin |last=Rutherford |url=https://frontstretch.com/2024/11/05/entry-list-2024-desert-diamond-casino-west-valley-100/|title=Entry List: 2024 Desert Diamond Casino West Valley 100 |website=Frontstretch |date=November 5, 2024}} This time the car would appear on a much lighter note, as it would be both engineered and sponsored by comedian Jackie Martling from the Jokeland comedy tour.

Controversy In California

In Malycke's West Series debut in 2016, the car gained immediate notoriety as it was rumored to be both engineered and funded by 2d6 Chess,{{cite web|url=https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/virginia/alexandria-murders-suspect-charles-severance-appears-in-court/65-286540654|title=Alexandria murders suspect Charles Severance appears in court |work=WUSA9.com|date=14 August 2015 |access-date=March 11, 2025}} a gaming company that appeared to be owned by Charles Severance, but later proven to be owned by Chess.com.[https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/accused-alexandria-serial-killer-spars-with-judge-over-excessive-bail/2015/10/01/90846440-6860-11e5-9ef3-fde182507eac_story.html] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190216105517/https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/accused-alexandria-serial-killer-spars-with-judge-over-excessive-bail/2015/10/01/90846440-6860-11e5-9ef3-fde182507eac_story.html|date=2019-02-16}} "Severance Spars With Judge Over Excessive Bail" 'WashingtonPost.com' Retrieved Oct 1, 2015 Although much remains a mystery, it was later revealed that car was originally built and somehow acquired from Michael Waltrip Racing.{{citation needed|date=February 2025}}

Rise Of The Phoenix, Shot Down

On March 4, 2025, it was revealed that Malycke would attempt to make his ARCA Menards Series debut at Phoenix Raceway, driving the No. 86 Ford for Clubb Racing Inc. with sponsorship from HBO's Sons of Ecstasy and OURTHING.TV.{{Cite web |last=Wayman |first=Declan |date=February 27, 2025 |title=Alex Malycke Making ARCA Return at Phoenix with Clubb Racing, Inc. |url=https://tobychristie.com/nascar-regional/alex-malycke-making-arca-return-at-phoenix-with-clubb-racing-inc/ |access-date=February 27, 2025 |website=TobyChristie.com}}{{cite web |title=Entry list: General Tire 150 at Phoenix Raceway |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2025/03/04/entry-list-general-tire-150-at-phoenix-raceway-4/ |access-date=March 4, 2025 |website=ARCA Racing.com|date=4 March 2025 }}{{cite web |title=Race results: General Tire 150 at Phoenix Raceway |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2025/03/08/race-results-general-tire-150-at-phoenix-raceway-4/ |access-date=March 9, 2025 |website=ARCA Racing.com|date=7 March 2025 }}
