Looks like JD will be piloting the spire #7 TRUCK at Bristol also. Good luck to them.

This is probably a good idea. That way he can feel the track out. The Kulig Cars aren’t bad NASCAR Cup Series cars so I think he could do well.
I thought this was good idea also
I don’t think those nascar guys will take him real seriously, that could be a mistake at the end of the day.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't expect him to do much. The Cup drivers have a year seat time in the new car, and its not like they are pitching a Cup car like a late model. If he finishes in the Top 20 I'd say it's a success.
JD's been spending time in the GM simulator... JD raced asphalt before he raced DLM... He's also reached a good point in his driving maturity, so... Not predicting a victory, but it could be interesting IF Napcar doesnt hamstring his car for him.
With the amount of respect being shown at these cup races, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get dumped on the opening lap.
I say JD finishes in top 15.
He had a few years in the legend cars all over the country...
Good luck to JD, the NASCAR guys (at least the real drivers) definitely know who he is.
He seems like he’s in his happy place right now. Him doing well would not surprise me one bit….especially in the truck.
Not sure why someone doesn't look more towards a street stock driver. They are used to wheeling a 3000 LB vehicle on crap tires. Seems way more like apples to apples to me.
Bobby Pierce did well in the trucks on dirt. JD is very capable but as was mentioned he may get dumped. Predicting how any of the truck guys do on dirt is more of!!! Who survives
A Street Stock driver from Wythe Raceway qualified up front at Eldora a few years ago in the trucks....
Most cup drivers are good drivers and actually have experience with the car in question. Very few good late model drivers do anything in a midget. Davenport included.
If you have a bunch of good drivers with equal experience, I agree. But the experience gap is worth a lot.
