On Tuesday morning, Joe Gibbs Racing announced that Brandon Jones is making a big return to the organization in 2025. Jones will drive full-time for the team in the NASCAR Xfinity Series on a multi-year deal after leaving in 2022. The No. 9 driver for [autotag]JR Motorsports[/autotag] has struggled over the last two years, and in the hour after his announcement, the NASCAR team has already been linked to a possible replacement.
According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, JR Motorsports is working to find funding for Carson Kvapil in 2025. As of now, Justin Allgaier, Sammy Smith, and Connor Zilisch are under contract for next year, leaving one likely seat for JR Motorsports. Kvapil has made several starts for JR Motorsports in 2024 and has been very impressive.
Kvapil is the son of the 2003 NASCAR Truck Series champion Travis Kvapil and has taken the Xfinity Series world by storm. With three drivers already locked into the 2025 driver lineup, Kvapil would be the perfect replacement for Jones next year. JR Motorsports knows that NASCAR is a business, so finding sponsorship for Kvapil is the most important factor in this process.
