Kelley Earnhardt-Miller, co-owner of JR Motorsports, recently revealed the motivations behind the team’s entry into the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway. This move marks a significant milestone for the team, known for its success in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
The decision to compete at Phoenix stems from a desire to honor the legacy of their father, Dale Earnhardt Sr., and to continue the family’s deep-rooted involvement in NASCAR. Kelley emphasized the importance of giving back to the fans and maintaining the Earnhardt presence in the sport. She stated, “We owe it to the fans of the sport to continue what really my dad built in his time.”
JR Motorsports’ journey to the Cup Series has been marked by dedication and perseverance. Earlier in 2025, the team made its Cup debut at the Daytona 500, with driver Justin Allgaier securing a top-ten finish. This achievement underscored the team’s readiness to compete at the highest level.
Looking ahead to Phoenix, the team aims to build on its momentum and further establish its presence in the Cup Series. The race represents not just a competitive endeavor but also a continuation of the Earnhardt family’s enduring impact on NASCAR.
