JD Motorsports ‘Pushing Forward’ Through Financial Reorganizing After Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing
Long-time NASCAR Xfinity Series organization JD Motorsports is working towards reorganizing its financial and operational affairs, following the team’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on April 8.
The organization was able to successfully field a pair of entries in the NASCAR Xfinity Series from April until mid-July when it was reported by TobyChristie.com that JD Motorsports had begun laying off employees.
In the series’ most recent event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which took place this past weekend, JD Motorsports did not have an entry present, despite reports from sources that the team intended to do so.
A press release from the team on Wednesday states that its shop, located outside of Gaffney, South Carolina, “remains functional” as team owner, Johnny Davis, works towards “reorganizing the team’s finances and direction after filing for bankruptcy protection”.
