After being without a ride in any NASCAR series for five years (2010 through 2014), Bean returned to the sport in 2015, driving the No. 92 for Mario Gosselin's team in what became the NASCAR Xfinity Series at the season-opening race at Daytona. Martin Roy was originally supposed to drive that car that weekend, but was injured in a skiing accident over the offseason, so Gosselin called up Bean, the husband of his wife's sister, to drive his second car. Bean had previously driven for Gosselin's team part-time in 2009 in the Truck Series when they fielded an entry, the No. 12 truck, in that series. He made his second attempt of the season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway but failed to qualify. However, Bean was called to replace Joey Gase in the No. 52 Jimmy Means Racing Chevy after Gase suffered food poisoning prior to the race; Gase started the race, and Bean took over during the event.

Bean also ran the last Truck Series race at Milwaukee (which is in his home state of Wisconsin) in 2009, which was also the last year he ran a Truck Series race.

On August 20, 2024, Young's Motorsports announced that Bean drove the No. 02 Silverado at the Milwaukee Mile.

On June 8, 2026, it was revealed Bean would return to the now NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series at Pocono Raceway, driving the No. 91 for DGM Racing with Jesse Iwuji Motorsports.
