MARTINSVILLE, Va. – For years after the formation of JR Motorsports, Dale Earnhardt Jr. wouldn’t even entertain the idea of his team advancing into the NASCAR Cup Series one day. “With the new car coming, me and my sister have certainly talked a little bit about whether that presents an opportunity for JR Motorsports to go into the Cup Series,” Earnhardt said. Never going into the Cup Series.’ We love where we’re at in the Xfinity Series; it’s a great series to have a lot of fun in. All three of JR Motorsports’ title-winning drivers now race full time at the Cup Series level. “The racer in me would want to have a car in every series to just be racing, just to be out on the track competing,” Earnhardt said.
