Carson Kvapil Joins JR Motorsports for 2025

Carson Kvapil has been promoted to a full-time driver for JR Motorsports in the NASCAR Xfinity Series starting in 2025, taking over the No. 1 Chevrolet previously held by Sam Mayer. The 21-year-old, son of former NASCAR champion Travis Kvapil, had a strong part-time season in 2024, achieving three top fives and four top tens in just eight races, with a notable second-place finish at Dover. Bass Pro Shops will serve as the primary sponsor for Kvapil's car, continuing its long-standing partnership with JR Motorsports. Kvapil, a two-time CARS Tour champion, is set to join a competitive lineup that includes Justin Allgaier and rookie Conor Zilisch. His ascension to a full-time role reflects his impressive performances and potential in the racing circuit. This move marks a significant step in his career, following in the footsteps of other notable JR Motorsports alumni.
