Ran nine races in 2014 in a fill-in role for the team
BK Racing named JJ Yeley as its primary driver for 2015, piloting a Toyota Camry for the team in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The exact car number has not yet been announced.
Yeley ran nine races for BK Racing in 2014, including eight in the No. 83 car, taking over the ride from Ryan Truex for the first time at Michigan International Speedway. Running a quarter of the season with the team, his best finish was 29th in October at Kansas.
“I am looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of my BK Racing Toyota Camry,” Yeley said. “I filled in for the team at the end of the 2014 season, and I’m glad to be given the opportunity to come back again for another season. I am ready to get the 2015 season started and head to Daytona International Speedway for some restrictor plate racing.”
In 220 career starts in NASCAR’s top series, Yeley has two top-five finishes, eight top-10s and one Coors Light Pole Award. He ran two full-time seasons for Joe Gibbs Racing in the No. 18 car in 2006 and 2007 and ran all but one race in 2013 for Tommy Baldwin Racing.
“JJ has been a great asset to the BK Racing team,” owner Ron Devine said. “He has been involved in the motorsports industry for several years now, and has the knowledge and skill to help build this organization.”
In a statement, the team indicated “more information on the remaining BK Racing drivers, sponsors and partnerships” would be forthcoming.
