MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Virginia native Connor Hall will be the new driver behind the wheel of the No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet for the organization’s championship-winning late model program, the team announced Tuesday morning.
Additionally, as announced last week by JRM, Bass Pro Shops will be back on board as the primary sponsor for 20 late model events in 2025.
“We are very happy to be able to have someone of Connor’s caliber and experience join us in our Late Model program,” said JRM’s Senior Vice President of Motorsports L.W. Miller. “Seeing his many successes over the past several seasons makes us very excited to watch him continue that success in a JR Motorsports Late Model in 2025.
“Everyone at JRM is looking forward to seeing what he and Bryan (Shaffer) can do together in the Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet.”
Hall, the current points leader in the zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car division as well as the 2023 and 2024 NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series National champion, succeeds Carson Kvapil in the seat as Kvapil moves full time to the NASCAR Xfinity Series next season with JRM.
“To me, JR Motorsports has the No. 1 late model program in the country, and it’s a dream come true to be able to wake up every day and work toward the common goal everyone at JRM has, which is to win more races and championships and carry on the legacy of this team,” Hall said.
“The opportunity to represent JR Motorsports, Johnny Morris and Bass Pro Shops, Dale, Kelley and L.W. means a lot to me. I am super-excited to work with Bryan, Slim and the rest of the team as well. I respect them a ton and am very eager to establish that working relationship.”
The 27-year-old Virginian will get behind the wheel of the No. 88 Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Boats & ATVs Chevrolet for the first time early in 2025.
