Finchum has made 111 starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, with a career-best finish of P11 at Talladega Superspeedway in 2020. He made three starts last season, finishing 22nd, 29th and 27th at Darlington Raceway, Bristol Motor Speedway and Martinsville Speedway, respectively.
Chad Finchum elated about making NASCAR Xfinity Series return
The 29-year-old Knoxville, Tennessee, native is happy to reunite with his former MBM Motorsports team in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. He will look to perform better on his return, aiming to secure his first top-10 result in the series.
In a team release, expressing his feelings about making the first start of the season, Finchum said:
“Texas is such a unique track, with keeping the car under control out of turn 2, to the sheer speed you carry each lap. I am proud to team up with HART HVAC & Electric, Winsupply of Fort Worth, and Cooper & Hunter and give them an opportunity to run up front.”
It will mark MBM Motorsports’ #66 entry’s first start since the season-opening race at the Daytona International Speedway.
