Preston Pardus is back in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2023, he tweeted March 2.
He’ll drive the No. 50 for Pardus Racing at Circuit of the Americas.
Garage Oil Spirits will sponsor the effort.
Other races for Pardus and the No. 50 were not revealed in the tweet, though Pardus has often competed at the majority of the road courses on the Xfinity schedule in past years.
Pardus debuted with his family-owned team in 2019 and has more recently competed for DGM Racing.
In 19 starts, he has three top 10s, including a best finish of seventh at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL in 2021.
