zMAX CARS Tour Pro Late Model Series
Kvapil Brothers Sweep CARS Tour Races at Ace Speedway
May 4, 2024
Carson Kvapil, who is fresh off of his second zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock Tour victory of the 2024 season at Ace Speedway on Friday, will officially add six additional NASCAR Xfinity Series starts to his racing schedule this season.
The hot-shoe will return behind the wheel of the No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this weekend at Darlington Raceway. Kvapil will also run the events at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in June, Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July, Michigan International Speedway in August, Darlington in August, and Talladega Superspeedway in October.
The expanded slate of races for Kvapil was made possible due to primary sponsorship from Clarience Technologies, which will bring its blue, white, purple colors to the No. 88 machine in the six races.
JR Motorsports made the announcement in the form of a social media graphic and post shared on Monday afternoon.
Kvapil, 20, has made two NASCAR Xfinity Series starts this season, and he has impressed mightily in both attempts.
The son of former NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Travis Kvapil finished fourth in his series debut at Martinsville Speedway in early April, and he followed that up with a stirring runner-up finish at Dover Motor Speedway a couple of weeks ago.
In the second-place effort, Kvapil led 14 laps, and he held the lead heading into the final restart of the race, where he was outdueled by Ryan Truex, who took his second career NASCAR Xfinity Series win.
Kvapil, who is still adjusting to the NASCAR Xfinity Series car, should only get better with each additional lap he turns in the series, which is a scary thought for the competition with how well he has taken to the series in his limited starts so far.
