When asked by reporters whether he anticipated the company to compete more in the Xfinity Series next season, Hendrick said, “I hope so.”
“Some of it, but not much of it, since I’m associated with JRM, and that’s our primary emphasis up there.” But we like running road courses, and some of our men enjoy running ovals.”
“We won’t be participating full-time, only in a few races.” It’s been a lot of pleasure to observe and restore the colors. Ricky’s number and colors are similar. That’s something I’ve really appreciated, and we’ll do a couple more of them.”
Hendrick Motorsports has yet to disclose who will race in the 2023 Xfinity season.
Rick Hendrick has two teams competing in the Xfinity Series. He has a great interest in the series since he co-owns JR Motorsports with NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. It will benefit the sport if Cup drivers compete in the Xfinity Series event.
