Landon Cassill will compete in the full 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series season for JD Motorsports with Gary Keller in the No. 4 Chevrolet, the team announced Friday, Jan. 22.
It’s Cassill’s first full Xfinity season since 2014, though he started four events last year for Shepherd Racing Ventures.
The Iowa native raced for JDM from 2013-2015. He has one top five and 14 top 10s in his NXS career.
He also earned one top five in 2014 in the Cup Series. He ran the complete 2019 season for StarCom Racing, as well as much of 2018.
“Johnny and his team in Gaffney mean the world to me, and it is a great honor to be back in the No. 4 Chevy,” Cassill said in a team release. “We’ve done so much together, and look forward to accomplishing more this season. He’s got a great lineup of drivers to work with this season, and I can’t wait to see what we all get done together.”
Cassill will join Jeffrey Earnhardt and Colby Howard in the JDM stable, as well as another driver yet to be named. Sponsorships will be announced at a later date.
The 2021 Xfinity Series begins at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 13.
