who owns the number 9 car in the xfinity series
JR Motorsports JR Motorsports is an American professional stock car racing team that currently competes in the Xfinity Series. The team is based in Mooresville, North Carolina, co-owned by Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., his sister Kelley Earnhardt Miller, and the owner of his Cup ride, Rick Hendrick. The team currently fields four full-time entries in the Xfinity Series: the No. 1 Chevrolet Camaro full-time for Elliott Sadler,[1] No. 5 Camaro full-time for Michael Annett, the No. 7 Camaro full-time for Justin Allgaier, the No. 9 Camaro full-time for William Byron, and the No. 88 Camaro part-time for Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne.
Dale Earnhardt A common misconception is that Richard Childress Racing "owns the rights" to the No. 3 in NASCAR competition (fueled by the fact that Kevin Harvick's car has a little No. 3 as an homage to Earnhardt and the usage of the No. 3 on the Camping World Series truck of Ty Dillon), but in fact no team owns the rights to this or any other number. However, according to established NASCAR procedures, RCR would have priority over other teams if and when the time came to reuse the number. RCR owns the stylized No. 3 logos used during Earnhardt's lifetime; however these rights may not prevent a future racing team from using a different No. 3 design (also, a new No. 3 team would most likely, in any case, need to create logos which fit with their sponsor's logos).
