MOORESVILLE, N.C (December 23, 2022): Alpha Prime Racing is pleased to announce that Stefan Parsons will be returning for select races during the 2023 NASCAR XFINITY Series season.

“It’s a huge boost to our program to keep a driver like Stefan in the building,” said APR Vice President David Schildhouse. “His talent brought some incredible results to our team in 2022 and he believes in what we are building here at APR. We look at Stefan as a core piece of our upwards growth trajectory and bringing him back to our roster was a top priority this offseason.”

Parsons made 12 starts for Alpha Prime Racing in 2022 and delivered a number of outstanding performances highlighted by an 8th-place finish at Bristol. While there was a lot to celebrate in 2022, the second generation driver feels like he’s right where he wants to be for 2023.

“I’m super excited to be able to call Alpha Prime home again in 2023,” said Parsons. “I can’t wait to build on the momentum we gained in the last half of 2022. None of this would be possible without the incredible support of Tommy Joe and Caesar at APR, Mark Sokal and Melissa Clark. I’m so thankful for this opportunity to continue representing SOKAL and Alpha Prime Racing!”
Details regarding sponsorship and the races that Stefan will compete in will come at a future date.

STATESVILLE, N.C.: Officials from AM Racing confirmed today that 2018 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series champion Brett Moffitt will join the organization as the full-time driver of its NASCAR Xfinity Series program beginning with the Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner. 300 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway on Sat., Feb. 18, 2023.

To bolster AM Racing’s inaugural full-time season in the Xfinity Series, the team will switch from Chevrolet to Ford which includes a technical alliance with Stewart-Haas Racing and Ford Motor Company’s Ford Performance program.

Ford Performance is the high-performance division of the Ford Motor Company and the multinational name used for its motorsport and racing activity.

Stewart-Haas Racing will supply the Statesville, N.C.-based team with race cars, while Roush Yates Engines will provide the legendary Ford horsepower for the No. 25 Ford Mustang.

In addition to providing race cars to AM Racing, Stewart-Haas Racing will also provide technical support for the entire 33-race season.

“This is an integral move for AM Racing and our future in NASCAR,” said AM Racing team principal Kevin Cywinski. “AM Racing is committed to ensuring that we are taking the necessary measures to not only give our team but Brett (Moffitt) the opportunity to be competitive from the time we show up to Daytona in February – which is something this group deserves.

“We are also grateful to have formed a technical alliance with Stewart-Haas Racing and Ford Performance. With their leadership and direction – it should offer the opportunity for our team to contend for a spot in the Xfinity Series Playoffs in our inaugural season.”

Moffitt, the Grimes, Iowa native is ready to propel AM Racing into the Xfinity spotlight after competing for the team in three NASCAR Truck Series races at Knoxville Raceway and Kansas Speedway during the past two seasons respectively.

In 84 Xfinity Series races, Moffitt, 30, has delivered two top-five and 23 top-10 finishes, including a 10th-place finish driving the No. 07 Ford Mustang for SS GreenLight Racing with Jeff Lefcourt in the rain-shortened Kansas Speedway race in October.

“I am beyond excited about this next chapter in my career,” said Moffitt. “Wade (Moore), Kevin (Cywinski) and the entire AM Racing team are putting the pieces together to make sure that we not only have a team that can run up front but win races in 2023.

“I was impressed by the team’s long-term plan and without question, I know that we will be able to accomplish the goals that we have set forth. I look forward to representing AM Racing as driver of the No. 25 Ford Mustang.”

2023 will mark Moffitt’s first time competing full-time under the blue oval banner.

“We look forward to powering AM Racing and Brett Moffitt in the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series,” said Doug Yates, CEO and president of Roush Yates Engines said. “The team is trending towards a successful season and Roush Yates Engines is proud to be associated.”

“There’s strength in numbers and having another Ford team with Roush Yates horsepower in the Xfinity Series is something that’s very beneficial for Stewart-Haas Racing,” said Greg Zipadelli, chief competition officer, Stewart-Haas Racing. “This is a partnership that can accelerate AM Racing’s growth while simultaneously benefitting our own efforts in the Xfinity Series.”

In addition to the Xfinity Series, AM Racing will house a rebranded full-time ARCA Menards Series program in 2023, while also continuing to field the No. 22 Ford F-150 in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series.

Austin Wayne Self, who has served as the team’s anchor driver since the team’s inception in 2016 will remain a vital ingredient within the team’s NASCAR platform with his schedule to be announced at a later date.

AM Technical Solutions, a Global Architecture, Engineering and Construction firm specializing in the high-tech markets in 24 countries and five continents will serve as the team’s anchor partner in 2023.

Moffitt’s efforts will also be supported by his longtime partners The Rasmussen Group and its subsidiaries Concrete Supply and JMT Trucking as well as Destiny Homes.

A crew chief announcement for Moffitt’s seventh year of competition in the NASCAR Xfinity Series is forthcoming.

ABOUT JR MOTORSPORTS:

JR Motorsports is the racing operation co-owned by NASCAR Hall of Fame member and 15-time Most Popular Driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kelley Earnhardt Miller and NASCAR Hall of Famer Rick Hendrick. Now in its 21st year of overall competition, JR Motorsports competes in multiple divisions, including the NASCAR Xfinity Series where it currently fields four full-time teams and earned championships in 2014, 2017 and 2018. The company also races in Late Model competition and owns five championships in regional Late Model divisions and added a prized national title in 2020.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Nov. 17, 2022) – JR Motorsports has revamped its crew chief roster for the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season, the organization announced today. Returning veterans Jason Burdett and Taylor Moyer will assume crew chief duties with the Nos. 9 and 8 entries, respectively, while the addition of Jim Pohlman on the No. 7 and Mardy Lindley with the No. 1 team completes the crew chief lineup.

Entering his ninth season with JRM, Burdett is the company’s winningest crew chief with 18 victories. Burdett, who led Justin Allgaier to Championship 4 appearances in five of the last seven seasons, will transition to the No. 9 Menards team with JRM’s newest driver Brandon Jones. Through his first eight years with the company, Burdett racked up an impressive 110 top-five and 183 top-10 finishes.

Moyer moves to the No. 8 team with driver Josh Berry for 2023 to fill the role vacated by Mike Bumgarner, now serving as JRM’s director of competition. In 2019-20, Moyer served as crew chief of JRM’s No. 8 Chevrolet and its rotating roster of drivers. He has spent the past two seasons atop the pit box for Berry and Sam Mayer, leading Mayer to 12 top fives, 25 top 10s and a playoff berth through to the Round of 8 in 2022.

“As successful as 2022 was for JR Motorsports, we’re always asking ourselves ‘how can we be better?’” said Bumgarner, JRM’s director of competition. “While we performed at a very high level this season, a tweak here or there can help push us even further. We were fortunate to bring in Jim (Pohlman) and Mardy (Lindley). Both have past success with their drivers and we expect that will aid in making a smooth transition.”

A native of Oak Lawn, Illinois, the 43-year-old Pohlman comes to JRM by way of Richard Childress Racing to assume crew chief duties for the No. 7 BRANDT Professional Agriculture team and perennial championship contender Allgaier. In 2008, Pohlman helped Allgaier secure an ARCA Menards Series championship, so the pairing will be familiar. Pohlman also spent time at the Cup Series level, most notably as crew chief for Juan Pablo Montoya in 2011 with several opportunities along the way in both Cup and NXS competition.

Additionally, Greenville, S.C. native Lindley, a decades-long veteran of the sport who spent the last two seasons at Kyle Busch Motorsports with six victories to his credit, joins Mayer in 2023 to lead the No. 1 team, reuniting the driver and crew chief for the first time since 2020. The Lindley / Mayer combination netted championships in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series (2019) and the ARCA Menards Series (2020). Together, the duo has more than 15 victories between the two series.

TEAM CHEVY POST-RACE NOTES AND QUOTES

NOAH GRAGSON, NO. 9 BASS PRO SHOPS / TRUETIMBER / BRCC CAMARO SS – FINISHED SECOND

“This No. 9 Bass Pro Shops team was really good all season long – eight wins, led the most laps and the most top-fives. We just came up one race short. I’m just so thankful for everyone at JR Motorsports.”

JUSTIN ALLGAIER, NO. 7 BRANDT CAMARO SS – FINISHED THIRD

“First of all, hats off to everyone at JR Motorsports. To put three cars in the Championship 4, obviously that was a big deal. To come out of here though with not one of us being the champion is probably the most difficult part.

“I thought our team did a great job all night. Jason Burdett (crew chief) and the whole No. 7 team did a good job of trying to make adjustments to the car to get it to where we needed it to be. We had awesome pit stops there at the end. We just got a little too free when we needed to be tighter. When the sun was going down, we were just trying to tighten the car up. We just didn’t quite take a big enough swing at it.

“I drove it for all I had. The track obviously changed a lot; the lines changed a lot. But I’m just proud of everybody at JR Motorsports. Obviously, we wanted to get the win for the No. 7 team, but we just wanted to get one of us as the champion. We’ll go back on Monday. There are going to be a lot of heads down low, but I can promise you that by the time we get back to Daytona in February, we’re going to be in great shape and go make another run at it next year.”

 
JOSH BERRY, NO. 8 TIRE PROS CAMARO SS – FINISHED 13TH

“We rebounded well. We got up there, but just got too high on that restart and just screwed that one up, I guess. We were behind all day trying to get up there and race with these guys. We finally got up there, but it just wasn’t meant to be.

“I’m just proud of the effort that these guys put in all year. It’s been tough, but to make it to the Championship 4 is a big deal. We just got beat.”

JUSTIN ALLGAIER, NO. 7 BRANDT CAMARO SS

“I’m really proud of all the work everyone at JR Motorsports and on this No. 7 team put in to how we unloaded today. This BRANDT Professional Agriculture Chevrolet felt the best of any car I’ve had at Phoenix before. We know what lies ahead of us now tomorrow, and I feel like we have a great chance to accomplish something great.”

JASON BURDETT, CREW CHIEF, NO. 7 BRANDT CAMARO SS

“I feel like we made some good changes and had some good runs as practice went along. We started our first run in traffic, which didn’t help very much, but we feel pretty good about where we are on the long runs. We’ll see how everything goes tomorrow, but I’m happy and Justin (Allgaier) is happy with where we ended practice today with the BRANDT Professional Agriculture Chevrolet.”

 
JOSH BERRY, NO. 8 TIRE PROS CAMARO SS

“We started practice off way loose and made gains on it throughout. Bummy (Mike Bumgarner, crew chief) and this Tire Pros team are working on it now to make the right adjustments for qualifying tomorrow morning. We should be good to go. I’ve got the confidence this group will get it right for tomorrow.”

MIKE BUMGARNER, CREW CHIEF, NO. 8 TIRE PROS CAMARO SS

“Josh talked about being loose to start practice and throughout but our lap times were on par with the rest of the group ahead of us. Our long run speed was really good, we just need to fire off a little better. We will go to work to make some final adjustments to get us ready for qualifying in the morning and I think we will be right there where we need to be.”

 
NOAH GRAGSON, NO. 9 BASS PRO SHOPS / TRUE TIMBER / BRCC CAMARO SS

“I’m pretty happy with our No. 9 Bass Pro Shops Camaro. In practice, we made a lot of laps and made some adjustments. It was a lot different with the track not having the same resin applied this weekend, but we were learning all practice long. I feel like we’re going to make some good adjustments overnight for the race. I’m really excited to go to battle with this team.”

On Phoenix Raceway: “I can’t believe the end of the season is here. It seems like we were just taking the green flag on the year at Daytona but on Saturday afternoon, we’ll be taking the checkered flag on the 2022 Xfinity Series season.

“I cannot thank my SS GreenLight with Jeff Lefcourt team enough for all of their hard work, effort and support throughout the year. I feel like we have improved our team considerably from last year and that is because of all the hard work involved by all.

“Overall, I like Phoenix. I’ve had some good qualifying runs there but haven’t been able to seal the deal with a finish I’d be content with. I’m thankful and appreciative to have ArmsList.com on the car this weekend and I hope we can deliver them a solid result in their Xfinity Series partnership debut.”
