JR Motorsports has recently come out with a partnership with Hendrick Motorsports to race three of its drivers with a 5th team consisting of three HMS drivers who will be Chase Elliott, William Byron, and Kyle Larson.

JR Motorsports currently has Sam Mayer, Justin Allgaier, Josh Berry, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Miguel Paludo, and Noah Gragson. JRM planned on racing at 4 venues this season and looks like their plans at Xfinity Series have changed.

Out of the races they’ve run so far, they have one top 10 finish with Miguel Paludo at COTA and Noah Gragson’s win at the Ag-Pro 300 at Talladega, and Elliott and Byron have won the Xfinity Series Championships in 2014 and 2017 both under JRM.
