Brendan Gaughan will again be in the NASCAR XFINITY Series (what is now the Nationwide Series) for the 2015 season, Richard Childress Racing announced on Thursday.
Gaughan will be back behind the wheel of the team’s No. 62 Chevrolet with sponsorship from South Point Hotel & Casino, which is owned by his family. RCR has been partnered with South Point since the 2012 with Gaughan ran a limited Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series schedule for the team. He ran a full-time Truck Series schedule in 2013 before moving into the Nationwide Series this season.
In 2014, Gaughan scored his first career Nationwide Series win with a victory at Road America in June. He followed that up in September with a late surge to grab the win at Kentucky.
“Returning to Victory Lane this season has been a big morale booster for not only me but for my team as well,” Gaughan said in a team release. “For the remainder of the year we will continue to learn and find things that work to get us a leg up on the competition for next season. I can’t wait for next year with the No. 62 RCR team and to contend for the XFINITY Series championship.”
Gaughan is currently eighth in the 2014 Nationwide Series point standings.
