[autotag]JR Motorsports[/autotag] is one of the powerhouse organizations in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, but there has been a lot of talk about the top level. Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kelley Earnhardt Miller have talked extensively about the NASCAR Cup Series over the last few years. The move hasn’t happened yet for JR Motorsports; however, it’s not for a lack of trying.
According to Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern, JR Motorsports is one of four teams that are said to be interested in expanding in the Cup Series, with Stewart-Haas Racing’s future in doubt. The NASCAR organization has been trying for years, but with the charter agreement not set in stone, potential team owners from the outside won’t be as inclined to buy a charter.
JR Motorsports has been involved in the search for a charter over the last few years and understands what it would take to make it happen. In 2023, Spire Motorsports bought Live Fast Motorsports’ charter for roughly $40 million. The Earnhardt family may need to fork out a lot of cash to make it happen, but the Cup Series is still an option moving forward.
