[autotag]Kris Wright[/autotag] has landed his best opportunity in NASCAR to this point. On Wednesday morning, [autotag]Our Motorsports[/autotag] announced that Wright will drive the No. 5 car full-time for the organization in the NASCAR Xfinity Series starting in 2025. Anthony Alfredo previously drove the No. 5 Xfinity car and ran well above expectations in 2024.
Wright drove the No. 15 car for Venturini Motorsports in the ARCA Menards Series but failed to win a race in his full-time season. Now, the 30-year-old driver will have an opportunity to compete in the Xfinity Series starting in 2025. It has been an up-and-down journey for Wright in NASCAR, as he hasn’t seen much success to this point.

The same can be said for Our Motorsports, which used to field multiple cars in the Xfinity Series. Alfredo was the lone focus of the organization in 2024, and the success of that operation could be a sign moving forward. Wright has earned this opportunity after diving into the ARCA Menards Series and the hope is that he can see similar success as Alfredo.
