JR Motorsports announced on Monday that Carson Kvapil will run six additional races in the No. 88 Xfinity car during the 2024 season.

[autotag]JR Motorsports[/autotag] has been using its fifth entry in 2024 more often than in the past few years, and one driver has been rewarded for his efforts. On Monday morning, JR Motorsports announced that [autotag]Carson Kvapil[/autotag] will run six additional races in the No. 88 car backed by Clarience Technologies during the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.

In Kvapil’s last start, he finished in second place behind Ryan Truex at Dover Motor Speedway after losing the lead on the final restart. The 20-year-old driver also finished in fourth place in his Xfinity Series debut at Martinsville Speedway. With a 3.0 average finish through two races, Kvapil will look to keep that up over the subsequent six events.

As for those races, Kvapil will run at Darlington Raceway on May 11 and August 31, New Hampshire Motor Speedway on June 22, Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 20, Michigan International Speedway on August 17, and Talladega Superspeedway on October 5.

Carson Kvapil returns to NASCAR Xfinity Series at Dover in 2024

JR Motorsports announced that Carson Kvapil will return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Dover Motor Speedway in April 2024.

[autotag]Carson Kvapil[/autotag] is returning to the NASCAR Xfinity Series. On Monday morning, JR Motorsports announced that Kvapil will return to the No. 88 Xfinity car for this weekend’s festivities at Dover Motor Speedway. The 20-year-old driver has made one start in the Xfinity Series, and it came at Martinsville Speedway for a fourth-place finish.

Kvapil was impressive in his Xfinity Series debut and gets another opportunity at a challenging race track. Dover is physically grueling and should provide a significant challenge to the young driver. Yet, Kvapil has been impressive in every vehicle he has driven throughout his short career to this point.

Expectations for Kvapil shouldn’t be too high, but a top-10 finish would be great. The young driver shouldn’t be expected to finish in the top 5 spots again, but it would be very impressive if it did happen. You don’t want to miss Kvapil’s next Xfinity Series race, which takes place at Dover on Saturday, April 27, on FOX Sports 1.
