Dylan Kwasniewski said he was fired up for the NASCAR XFINITY Series season, that he was eager to show what he could do in a car and on a team with a real chance to win every week. But the Las Vegan will have to share the #42 Chevy with Kyle Larson, last season’s Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year. They are part of the newly formed one-car racing team of HScott Motorsports with Chip Ganassi. How Kwasniewski and Larson divide the car has not been determined. The season begins Feb. 21 at Daytona Beach, Fla., and Kwasniewski said he didn’t know who would be behind the wheel when the series heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 7 for the Boyd Gaming 300. Even with the uncertainty, Kwasniewski didn’t sound concerned about losing so much track time. “It’s still a lot of races,” he said. “I think we’re going to have better results. You’re running up front with the guys you’re going to race for the rest of your life. I think that’s better than running midpack.” This is Kwasniewski’s second season in the Xfinity Series, formerly known as Nationwide. He drove for Turner Scott Motorsports last year, but that team disbanded after a legal dispute between the owners. Harry Scott Jr. then united with Ganassi to form the current team. Funding allowed the team to run just one car, but Kwasniewski said logistics would make it difficult to operate a second Chevy on a full-time basis even if the money was there. “They’re trying to put everything into one shop,” he said.(Las Vegas Review-Journal)(1-8-2015)
