Kyle Weatherman could drive JD Motorsports’ #4 car for the rest of NASCAR Xfinity season

Kyle Weatherman is set to drive the #4 Chevrolet Camaro for JD Motorsports in the Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville Superspeedway this Saturday. Weatherman will be replacing Garrett Smithley, who was driving the #4 car till the previous race.

In addition to racing this weekend with JD Motorsports, Weatherman is being considered to join the #4 team for the rest of the season. The 25-year-old finally seems to have found a permanent ride after making nine starts with four different teams in the first half of the NASCAR Xfinity season.

Johny Davis, the owner of JD Motorsports, stated his confidence in the abilities of Weatherman and added that the team is evaluating the possibility of running him for the rest of the season.

"We’re confident we’ll have a good run Saturday at Nashville with Kyle," Davis said. "This is a change as well as a look forward to the second half of the season, and we’re hoping this will work out for the best for all involved. This series only gets tougher, and we’re putting everything together to give the No. 4 team their best shot."

The team owner thanked the departing Garrett Smithley for the efforts he put in over the years, as he said:

"Garrett has been an important part of this team and what it’s been able to do over the years. We appreciate the input he has had, the strength and smarts he’s shown on the racetrack and the network of people and sponsors he’s brought along. We wish him only the best."

Midway through the season, three drivers have taken the wheel of the #4 JD Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro. Bayley Curry made the first four starts, with Smithley taking over until his last start in Portland. Cup Series driver Ty Dillon was behind the wheel at Sonoma.

Kyle Weatherman will be the fourth driver to drive the #4 Chevy this season. For his first start with the team in Nashville, the car will be sponsored by multiple brands. These include Trophy Tractor, Dozer Winch, TailGater, Page Construction, and others.
