Dale Earnhardt Jr. Leads JR Motorsports to Historic 100th Xfinity Series Win

Dale Earnhardt Jr. smiles for a photo with NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Connor Zilisch (88) on Saturday, July 26, 2025, after winning the Pennzoil 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

In a historic moment at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, JR Motorsports clinched its 100th NASCAR Xfinity Series victory, sending shockwaves through the racing world. The co-owner of the triumphant team, Dale Earnhardt Jr., could not contain his relief and gratitude after the incredible win.

The 19-year-old rookie, Connor Zilisch, emerged as the hero of the day, securing the milestone win for JR Motorsports in a thrilling showdown on the iconic oval. Dale Earnhardt Jr., along with his sister Kelley Earnhardt Miller, have steered the team to greatness since its inception in the early 2000s, overcoming numerous challenges and setbacks along the way.

Reflecting on the monumental achievement, Earnhardt Jr. expressed his heartfelt appreciation for everyone who has been a part of JR Motorsports’ journey. He extended his thanks to all current and former employees, drivers, and supporters who have contributed to the team’s success over the years, emphasizing the collective effort that led to this remarkable milestone.

The road to victory was not easy for JR Motorsports, which started as a modest Late Model operation in North Carolina in 2002. However, through dedication, perseverance, and sheer determination, the team gradually climbed the ranks to etch its name in the annals of Xfinity Series history.

With notable wins by drivers like Mark Martin, Brad Keselowski, Regan Smith, Chase Elliott, Tyler Reddick, Justin Allgaier, Noah Gragson, and Sam Mayer, JR Motorsports’ journey to the 100-win mark has been paved with memorable moments and outstanding performances on the track. Each victory served as a stepping stone towards the ultimate goal of reaching triple digits in the win column.

The crowning moment came at the Pennzoil 250, where Connor Zilisch showcased his talent and composure under pressure, securing the 100th win for JR Motorsports in a nail-biting finish. Zilisch’s strategic maneuvering in the closing laps, coupled with a crucial assist from Sam Mayer, propelled him to victory and cemented his name in the team’s storied legacy.

Despite facing adversity during the race, including a heartbreaking setback for Justin Allgaier, whose victory aspirations were dashed in the final stages, JR Motorsports emerged triumphant, marking a significant milestone in its racing history. The team’s relentless pursuit of excellence and unwavering commitment to success have solidified its reputation as a powerhouse in the world of NASCAR.

As Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the entire JR Motorsports family bask in the glory of their 100th win, the racing world stands in awe of their remarkable achievement, a testament to the team’s resilience, passion, and unwavering spirit in the face of adversity. The legacy of JR Motorsports continues to thrive, setting the stage for even greater triumphs in the future.
