With an ownership group that includes Dale Earnhardt Jr. and sister Kelley Earnhardt Miller, JR Motorsports has been a staple in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for nearly 20 years. To-date, JRM has four driver's titles, winning in 2014 with Chase Elliott, 2017 with William Byron, 2018 with Tyler Reddick, and lastly, 2024 with Justin Allgaier.
2024 was Allgaier's first Xfinity championship after 14 full-time seasons of competition and now, he'll get the chance to take on NASCAR's crown jewel event as the latest announced in a stacked open field of drivers. The deal came as a bit of a surprise to Allgaier, who didn't expect to be offered the chance to pilot JRM's first ever Cup entry when he was brought into the JRM office.
