JD Motorsports with Gary Keller is proud to announce that Lawson Aschenbach will make his return to NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) competition this weekend at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.<\/p>\n
Aschenbach, who is a four-time Pirelli World Challenge champion, has two previous NXS starts. His best finish in the series came back in 2015 at Road America, where he piloted the No. 0 JDM Chevrolet to a 18th place finish in his series debut.<\/p>\n
Supporting Lawson this weekend will be GoPro Motorplex, a state-of-the-art go karting facility located in Mooresville, NC. The go kart track is owned by former Mid-Ohio NXS winner, Justin Marks, and brings a tie in with JDM\u2019s team owner, Johnny Davis, who made a reputation in the go kart industry throughout the 1990\u2019s as one of the most revered chassis builders at that time.<\/p>\n
Davis was quoted saying \u201cThis partnership with Lawson, GoPro Motorplex, and our team is really neat for me. I started building go karts in the early \u201890\u2019s and it was a big part of my life at that time, and to get the opportunity to have it show back up all these years later, man that\u2019s just cool. Lawson has done a good job for our team in his two previous starts, and I am confident that we will be able to have another solid outing this weekend. He is one of the most talented road course ringers I know, and I really think we have a shot at getting a Top 10 finish in Mid-Ohio.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last season, Aschenbach raced the No. 01 Chevrolet for the team at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval race in September, where he had a legitimate shot at contending before being caught up in a wreck late in the going. The team has goals in place to keep the car on the racetrack in one piece and see where the pieces fall into place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
