JD Motorsports has announced that Vinnie Miller will drive the No. 01 Chevrolet Camaro full-time in 2018.
The news was announced in a press release.
Miller, 20, raced in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and the ARCA Racing Series last season, scoring six top 10s.
From the press release:
Miller made his NXS debut at Chicagoland Speedway with JDM on September 16, scoring a 29th-place finish. Additionally, he made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut at Talladega Superspeedway on October 14, 2017, scoring a strong seventh-place finish.
"It's a dream come true," Miller said. "As a young racer, you certainly dream of making it to this level and competing with the best of the best, without being sure it will ever happen. I have several people to thank, but mostly importantly, I need to thank my family for their support. The sacrifices they have made to allow me to chase my dreams do not go unnoticed, and it will be really special to share the next step in this journey with them."
"I see a lot of potential in Vinnie," said team owner, Johnny Davis. "He is a hard-working young man, and he has demonstrated his ability as a racer. He'll have a lot to learn next year, but my team is committed to giving him the resources he needs to have a successful rookie year. Vinnie already fits in great with the team, so we're looking forward to the 2018 season."
"I'm really looking forward to joining JD Motorsports with Gary Keller," Miller added. "In the ever changing motorsports landscape, to join a team that has raced full-time since 2002 is super exciting, and shows the dedication the organization has to the sport."
