The three-race deal between Earnhardt’s JR Motorsports and the 23-year-old Rochester Hills native was announced Tuesday afternoon in Mooresville, N.C.
“I’ve watched Brad for a while, and he’s shown a lot of promise in the few Busch races he’s run,” Earnhardt Jr. said in a written announcement posted on his race shop’s web site.

Good kid from a family of racers. I hope he does great! Bob was an ARCA star and truck series driver. Ron used to race with Benny Parsons. This kid is focused. He will make the most of this opportunity.
I hope you’re right.
