JR Motorsports Confirms Return Of Major Partner In 2025
JR Motorsports has officially announced the return of long-time partner Roto-Rooter as a sponsor for the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.
Roto-Rooter will take up the mantle of sponsoring the No. 88 and No. 1 teams, supporting emerging drivers Connor Zilisch and Carson Kvapil for two races each. Additionally, Roto-Rooter will be a full-season associate sponsor for JR Motorsports' Late Model program.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller, the CEO of JR Motorsports, commented on the renewed partnership :
"We're thrilled to welcome Roto-Rooter back to JRM in 2025.
"It's great to see how much our partnership has grown already in the short time that we've been together and I can't wait to see what the future holds."
Connor Zilisch is among the key beneficiaries of this continued partnership. At just 18 years old, he has already made his mark in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, hinting at a promising future. Zilisch's debut victory at Watkins Glen International, accompanied by two top-five finishes and a pole in just three starts, shows his exceptional potential. Roto-Rooter's sponsorship will see them supporting him at the Homestead-Miami Speedway event.
Thad Reinhard, President of Roto-Rooter, also commented on the new partnership deal:
"Roto-Rooter is grateful to be associated with JR Motorsports for another year.
"This partnership brings together two hard working household names and leaders in their respective industries. We thank Dale and Kelley for building such a phenomenal team and we look forward to another exciting season on the track with such deserving, young race car drivers."
In addition to sponsoring Zilisch, Roto-Rooter will also back Carson Kvapil, who drives the No. 1 team. Although the specific races for Kvapil have yet to be announced, the partnership aims to bolster his development as a talented driver within the NASCAR circuit. Both Zilisch and Kvapil will benefit from increased visibility and support, providing them headway to excel in their racing careers.
