We are working hard this offseason – our goal in 2021 is to run up front and contend for wins.

He has eight-career top-10s in the series, including a best finish of fifth at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway last season.

“Our Motorsports has made great strides in 2020, and I’m really excited to carry that momentum into 2021 with Brett Moffitt behind the wheel,” crew chief Joe Williams said. “Brett is the kind of driver that makes us better as an organization,  and I am confident in what we can accomplish together next year.”

The 2021 season will be Our Motorsports’ second season in the Xfinity Series.
