Tony Mrakovich will make his NASCAR XFINITY Series debut next weekend at the Bristol Motor Speedway in the Fitzgerald Glider Kits 300. Mrakovich will pilot the No. 28 Extreme Energy Solutions Ford Mustang for JGL Racing in two races the organization announced on Thursday. The Elizabethtown, PA native has four starts in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards under his belt with the best finish of eighth in his debut last April at Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville. Mrakovich had a strong run going in the season opener at Daytona earlier this year before being collected in a late race crash.
“Daytona was disappointing for sure,” Mrakovich said in the team release. “We had a fast car and a shot at a solid finish, but at the end of the day, it’s about gaining experience. While Bristol is about as different as you can get from Daytona, I can still apply the lessons I learned.”
Mrakovich will also compete in the NASCAR XFINITY Series ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond. Dylan Lupton has piloted the No. 28 entry for the organization in the first six races of the season including this weekends race at the Texas Motor Speedway. (Koelle,2018)
