Lee Pulliam will look to make his NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series debut for JR Motorsports at Martinsville Speedway, JRM announced Feb. 24.
Pulliam will drive the team’s part-time No. 9.
Should he qualify, it’ll be Pulliam’s first appearance in a NASCAR national series.
Pulliam, 37, has scored multiple CARS Tour victories and is a four-time NASCAR Whelen All-American Series champion.
More recently, he has remained in the CARS world as the owner of Lee Pulliam Performance, with Lanie Buice and Doug Barnes Jr. driving his cars in 2025.
Kevin Rutherford is the executive editor of Frontstretch, a position he gained in 2025 after being the managing editor since 2015, and serving on the editing staff since 2013.
At his day job, he's a journalist covering music and rock charts at Billboard. He lives in New York City, but his heart is in Ohio -- you know, like that Hawthorne Heights song.
Great news. Thanks Kelly & Junior
