It’s what we want to do, and we want to do it well. We want strong cars and a strong program we can sustain.”</strong></p><p class=""><br></p><p class=""><strong>A former NASCAR Cup Series mechanic and pit crew member, Davis has been a full-time Xfinity team owner since 2002 and has contributed to the careers of such drivers as Ross Chastain, Ryan Preece, Landon Cassill and Jeremy Clements. Chastain, a four-time winner and championship challenger in the Cup Series, is JD Motorsports’ most noteworthy “graduate,” having sprinted to stardom in NASCAR’s top series after years of seasoning with the Davis team. Typically, the team has entered two Chevrolets in every Xfinity race, its bright red cars easily spotted on track.</strong></p><p class=""><br></p><p class=""><strong>“It has been a particular point of pride in our shop that drivers have started here and gone on to do very well,” Davis said. “We give people a launching pad.”</strong></p><p class=""><br></p><p class=""><strong>Davis said lagging purses and rising expenses have made it increasingly difficult to compete in the Xfinity Series, particularly for teams that sometimes struggle to keep up with the sport’s more monied operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p><p class=""><br></p><p class=""><strong>“What we are able to gather in sponsorship and the small winnings from purses can’t keep us doing what and how we want to do,” he said. “It’s simply a matter of math.”</strong></p><p class=""><br></p><p class=""><strong>During the reorganization period, Davis is continuing to build race cars and focus on what’s happening in the sport and how his reorganized team can fit in. “Some of the biggest companies in the country have reorganized through bankruptcy,” Davis said. “We’re pushing forward.”</strong></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p><p class=""><strong>Please browse our website to learn more about our family owned and operated team.<br></strong><a href="http://www.teamjdmotorsports.com"><strong>www.teamjdmotorsports.com</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p><p class=""><strong>**JDM Media Contact:**</strong></p><p class=""><strong>pr@jdavismotorsports.com&nbsp;</strong></p>]]></description><media:content type="image/jpeg" url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b70f4059cc687b5d24cf2d/1721836319397-79W3I18UKTU20CAISX6N/MVL_6390.jpg?format=1500w" medium="image" isDefault="true" width="1500" height="999"><media:title type="plain">The JD Motorsports NASCAR Xfinity Series team has a long and strong history</media:title></media:content></item><item><title>Thomas Annunziata will take on Pocono Raceway’s Tricky Triangle this weekend with Criswell Chevrolet Buick GMC</title><dc:creator>Jennipher Gutauckis</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jul 2024 14:44:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.teamjdmotorsports.com/news/thomas-annunziata-will-take-on-pocono-raceways-tricky-triangle-this-weekend-with-criswell-chevrolet-buick-gmc</link><guid isPermaLink="false">58b70f4059cc687b5d24cf2d:58f6367c2994ca1365af3592:66913da2685d27351fba1fae</guid><description><![CDATA[<p class="">Thomas Annunziata, one of the country’s most promising young racers, will take on Pocono Raceway’s Tricky Triangle this weekend with the support of one of the nation’s leading automobile dealerships.</p><p class="">In Saturday’s Explore The Pocono Mountains 225 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Pocono, Annunziata will ride with the colors of Criswell Chevrolet Buick GMC, a nationally recognized and respected dealership located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Annunziata, who turned 19 June 14, will be in the JD Motorsports No. 4 Chevrolet in his first Xfinity Series start at Pocono, a very fast triangular track that poses some of the toughest challenges in the world of oval racing.</p><p class="">“With the backing of Criswell Chevrolet and the solid support of the Criswell family, we’re expecting a lot at Pocono,” said Annunziata, a successful driver in Trans Am and ARCA racing who’s knocking on the door of NASCAR’s top series. “I’ve never had a partnership as strong as this one with Criswell. They bring their best every day at their dealership, and I’m sure we’ll represent them well at Pocono.”</p><p class="">Although Criswell is located in Maryland, north of Washington, D.C., its reputation is nationwide. Customers across the country depend on Criswell for the best pricing and inventory that offers a multitude of choices. Criswell, family owned since 1972, has been named GM Dealer of the Year every year since the inception of the award. It is one of the largest commercial truck dealers in the Mid-Atlantic and the third largest Corvette dealer in the U.S.</p><p class="">“Everybody in the car business knows about Criswell,” said Johnny Davis, JD Motorsports owner and a veteran of the Xfinity Series. “We’ve raced Chevrolets forever, and it’s an honor for us to have the Criswell name associated with our team and the No. 4 Chevrolet. This is a big boost for us and for Thomas, one of the brightest young drivers in the country. It’s a pairing and partnership that should result in big things.”</p><p class="">Annunziata, a native of Colts Neck, New Jersey, has joined JD Motorsports and its Gaffney, South Carolina-based operation with plans to use his background in Trans Am and ARCA racing to build a new foundation in NASCAR. He raced in early June with JDM at Sonoma Raceway in California, finishing 34th after transmission problems. In three ARCA races this year, he has scored a pair of top-five finishes, including a close second place at Daytona International Speedway in February.</p><p class="">“We hope to keep building on what we’ve done already this year,” Annunziata said. “Racing for me at the moment is about getting in the track time and piling up the laps and learning everything I can. With Criswell’s support, we can go further faster.”</p><p class="">JD Motorsports has been effective in helping young drivers reach their dreams. Among those who have piloted JDM cars are Ross Chastain, Landon Cassill, Sheldon Creed, Jeremy Clements, Mike Wallace and Joe Nemechek.</p><p class="">“Thomas clearly has what it takes to make it big in stock car racing,” Davis said. “He’s young, but he understands race cars and what it takes to push them to the next level. With the help this week of Criswell Chevrolet, we’re looking to give him a great ride.”</p><p class="">Qualifying for the 90-lap race is scheduled at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, with the race to follow at 3 p.m.</p><p class=""><br><strong>JD Motorsports</strong></p><p class=""><strong>Team Owner Johnny Davis first began fielding the No. 4 car in what is now the Xfinity Series in 1983, with Joe Henry Thurman as the driver. From 1983-1985, Davis and Thurman competed in 41 races and put the JD Motorsports name on the map.

The race will mark his debut in the Xfinity Series.</p><p class="">Annunziata, who has had success from go-karts to sports cars, is building toward a career at the top levels of NASCAR, and he hopes to take the next step by joining team owner Johnny Davis and his veteran Xfinity Series crew. Cup star Ross Chastain is a spotlighted driver among those who raced for Davis on the way up the ladder. Others include Mike Wallace, Landon Cassill, Joe Nemechek, Sheldon Creed and Jeremy Clements.</p><p class="">Annunziata showed his potential in the ARCA Racing Series opener in February at Daytona. Racing against ARCA veterans and a string of newcomers like himself, Annunziata was sitting in seventh as the field took the green and white flags together for the race’s final lap. Chaos erupted in front of Annunziata as the front pack raced along the backstretch. As several cars wrecked, Annunziata alertly dropped to the inside of the track to avoid the collision. The race ended under caution, with Gus Dean, who was out front, taking the win and Annunziata rolling home a surprising second place.</p><p class="">“I had never raced on a fast oval, and it was definitely interesting,” Annunziata said. “It was almost like ‘Days of Thunder’. I just kept my foot in it. I could have been on the wrong side of that.”</p><p class="">A regular on the Trans Am circuit, Annunziata’s goal is to move up through NASCAR’s series to eventually reach Cup. The JD Motorsports team has been effective in helping drivers reach their dreams.</p><p class="">“Our team has always been attuned to the idea of developing new talent,” Davis said. “Ross Chastain and others have honed their skills with us. We’re looking for Thomas to be one of the next in line. I’ve been impressed with the talent he’s shown even as a young driver.”</p><p class="">“I’ve been waiting on this forever,” Annunziata said. “Watching ‘Days of Thunder’ and ‘Talladega Nights’ growing up, and watching Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson race NASCAR, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.</p><p class="">“Being able to race with Johnny Davis’ team will give me a crazy amount of experience in a series right below Cup. I’ll be with some of the best drivers in the country. The cars are heavier than Trans Am, and I’ll be learning all the ins and outs of NASCAR. It will be huge for me.”</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p><p class="">JDM Media Contact:</p><p class=""><a href="mailto:Jgutauckis@jdavismotorsports.com"><span>Jgutauckis@jdavismotorsports.com</span></a>&nbsp;</p><p class="">407.489.7166</p>]]></description><media:content type="image/png" url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b70f4059cc687b5d24cf2d/1717077609043-N3W3ME9MQ52M9V1DHLMY/Screenshot+2024-05-28+172252.png?format=1500w" medium="image" isDefault="true" width="687" height="708"><media:title type="plain">JD Motorsports Welcomes Thomas Annunziata at Sonoma Raceway</media:title></media:content></item><item><title>Prolube Partners with JD Motorsports, Dawson Cram at Darlington</title><dc:creator>Jennipher Gutauckis</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 07 May 2024 13:50:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.teamjdmotorsports.com/news/prolube-partners-with-jd-motorsports-dawson-cram-at-darlington</link><guid isPermaLink="false">58b70f4059cc687b5d24cf2d:58f6367c2994ca1365af3592:6639811e4a9a406dceacc303</guid><description><![CDATA[<p class=""><strong>GAFFNEY, SC</strong> – Two racing families come together to create a stand out partnership at Darlington for NASCAR’s 2024 throwback weekend.</p><p class="">NASCAR Xfinity Series team JD Motorsports has partnered with Prolube, a all-in-one friction reducing oil treatment, to sponsor Dawson Cram's No. 4 Chevrolet in the Crown Royal Purple Bag Project 200 on Saturday, May 11th.</p><p class="">The red, white, and black No. 4 will race with an iconic checkered strip in tribute to Prolube owner Paul Wireman’s own street stock he still turns laps in at 83 years young. </p><p class="">“We're excited to join forces with NASCAR's rising star Dawson Cram.

  <p class=""><br></p><p class=""><span><strong>About Prolube</strong></span></p><p class="">During the late 1980s, Paul Wireman partnered with experts to engineer an oil additive that would significantly reduce the friction in motors.
