After JD Motorsports announced their Driver lineup two names were missing from the lineup that was with the team in 2015. Landon Cassill moves to Ford and Front Row Motorsports in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, but that other driver is Harrison Rhodes. Harrison raced for JD Motorsports in 2015 but will have a new home in 2016. That new home is Obaika Racing and the #97 Chevrolet. With the new Chase Format in the Xfinity Series you will see teams with two bullets in the gun in hopes to land at least one of those bullets in the Bullseye aka The Inaugural Chase for The Xfinity Series Championship. The Obaika Racing team will return in 2016 with one vision and that vision is to land their driver and car in the Chase and with focusing on one driver it makes it just a hair more possible than with going each week with different drivers. Obaika Racing fielded the #97 car successfully in its debut 2015 season, giving opportunities to various drivers and finishing top 30 in owner points. The Team is in the process of rolling out two teams in the 2016 Xfinity Series and is pleased to announce that Harrison Rhodes has been signed on as a team driver as a step in its duo-team efforts. Rhodes had a great season driving the #0 car for JD Motorsports in the 2015 Xfinity season with 10 top '25's and finished 24th in driver points through 29 races. (Koelle, 2016)
