This weekend will mark Parson\u2019s sixth career NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) start, and first ever NASCAR national series start at Texas.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Parsons, who is the son of NASCAR On Fox analyst Phil Parsons, comes from a family with a long heritage throughout the sport of NASCAR. His father, Phil, raced throughout the 1980\u2019s and 1990\u2019s and has two career NXS and one career NASCAR Cup Series win to his name. Stefan\u2019s uncle, Benny Parsons, recorded 21 career Cup Series wins, along with the 1973 series championship.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">In five previous NXS starts, which all came in 2019, Parsons has a best career finish of 12<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 which came at Daytona International Speedway in July. All of his career starts were made driving for fellow JDM driver BJ McLeod at BJ McLeod Motorsports. Saturday\u2019s O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts 300 will mark the first time that the two will be teammates, as McLeod will be driving the team\u2019s No. 4 Chevrolet for the fourth time this season.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">\u201cI\u2019m really thankful to Johnny Davis and everybody involved with JD Motorsports with Gary Keller for giving me the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the No. 15 Chevrolet this weekend. Johnny and his team have come a long way in a short span of time, and I am eager to see what we can do at Texas. Hopefully, we are able to close out the season on a strong note.\u201d<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">With just three races to go in 2019, the No. 15 Chevrolet sits 25<sup>th<\/sup> in the owner\u2019s points standings, not far behind JDM\u2019s No. 0 and No. 01 machines. Parsons will aim to eclipse the #15Machine\u2019s season-best finish of 16<sup>th<\/sup>, which was set by McLeod two races ago at Dover International Speedway.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Texas Motor Speedway for the running of the O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts 300 on Saturday, November 2nd. Be sure to tune in on NBCSN at 8:30 PM ET to watch Stefan Parsons make his JD Motorsports with Gary Keller debut at the track dubbed \u201cNo Limits Texas\u201d.For all things JDM, follow along on our social media pages <strong>@JDMotorsports01. <\/strong><em><strong>#TeamJDM<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JD Motorsports with Gary Keller (JDM) is proud to announce that Cornelius, North Carolina\u2019s Stefan Parsons will pilot the No. 15 Chevrolet this Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway.
