JD Motorsports Withdrawing No. 6 Entry at Pocono Raceway
When the entry list for Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Explore the Pocono Mountains 225 dropped on Monday, the list contained 39 cars, which would vie for the 38 positions. However, there will no longer be a DNQ this weekend as JD Motorsports has decided to withdraw its No. 6 entry according to an updated entry list from NASCAR.
Garrett Smithley was slated to pilot the entry with primary sponsorship from his longtime partner Trophy Tractor.
The withdrawal of the No. 6 car will mark the first time since the 2011 NASCAR Xfinity Series season that JD Motorsports didn’t attempt to lock at least two cars into the field for a race.
