Hendrick Motorsports will support Corey Day’s efforts in the NASCAR Xfinity, Trucks, ARCA and Trans Am series.
“I think there are a lot of benefits to having Saturday seat time in the Xfinity Series,” Chastain, who competed in four NXS events in 2024, said in a team release. “Having the opportunity to do this with JR Motorsports is too good an opportunity to pass up. I know every time I get in their Chevys we’ll have a chance to win.
“I’m trying to gain as much experience as possible,” van Gisbergen said in a team statement. “JR Motorsports is one of the best teams and won the championship with Justin Allgaier. I can’t wait to get started.
Trackhouse Racing development driver Connor Zilisch is competing full-time with JR Motorsports in 2025. He will drive the No. 88 car for his Xfinity rookie campaign.
