The 20-year-old driver will run the No. 88 car as a fifth entry for JR Motorsports. Kvapil becomes the fifth driver from the Late Model program to make his debut for the organization, joining Richard Boswell, Josh Berry, William Byron, and Sam Mayer. Additional details about Kvapil’s effort in the No. 88 car will be revealed in the coming weeks.

This is a great decision for Kvapil, as he is regarded as a rising NASCAR prospect. JR Motorsports has been a great home for the 20-year-old driver, and he should be full-time in the Xfinity Series eventually if everything goes right. For now, Kvapil and the No. 88 team will focus on his Xfinity Series debut at Martinsville before looking at more races.
