Here’s the JR Motorsports schedule for the NASCAR Cup Series stars
Hendrick Motorsports stars Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson and William Byron are set to share a 5 race deal to enter the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The car will be fielded by Hendrick Motorsports.
Elliott ran in the series as recently as last year. Larson hasn’t run a NASCAR Xfinity Series event since 2018. Byron’s last Xfinity start came in 2017.
Rick Hendrick is a co-owner of JR Motorsports.
The car will make an appearance at Texas Motor Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Watkins Glen International as well as both races at Darlington Raceway. William Byron and Kyle Larson each have two races scheduled while Elliott has just one.
