Dale Earnhardt jr. Will serve as crew head of Connor Zilisch’s JR Motorsports car in Saturday’s XFinity race at Pocono Raceway, the team announced on Wednesday.
Crew Chief Mardy Lindley will serve a suspension of one race this week because the team had two air nuts that were not safe and safe after the Nashville race earlier this month.
The penalty was postponed, through which Lindley could be with the team this past weekend in Mexico.
With Lindley serving the penalty, Earnhardt will be on top of the pit box and as the head of the no. 88 team listed. It will be Earnhardt’s first time as crew head in a Nascar National Series event.
Earnhardt is at Pocono as a member of the Prime Broadcast Crew for the Cup Race. His JR Motorsports organization celebrated his seventh victory of the season last weekend with Daniel Suarez winning in Mexico City. The win was the 95th for JR Motorsports in the XFinity series. Only three teams achieved 100 XFinity victories: Joe Gibbs Racing (217 wins) M, RFK Racing (138) and Richard Childress Racing (100).
Earnhardt started 35 cup at Pocono in his career and won twice. He had 15 top 10 finishes.
Zilisch will enter fifth in the series over the weekend. He achieved one win this season. It will be at Circuit of the Americas on March 1.
