During these unfortunate circumstances and with a heavy but grateful heart, I will no longer drive the #6 Chevy Camaro. pic.twitter.com/waELsvOXat

The affects of COVID-19 are wide reaching and because of that, understandably, most of our current partners’ advertising dollars are limited.

AND: Team owner Johnny Davis confirmed Jeffrey Earnhardt will be a primary driver going forward for the No. 6 race team. Earnhardt had originally been announced as a part-time driver for the team this season in its Nos. 0 and 15.
“It’s pretty much the majority of the rest of the year, provided everything goes through like it’s supposed to,” Davis said of Earnhardt. “In these trying times, we have to put a clause in anybody’s agreement that, if something happens money-wise, financial-wise, we’ve got to look at it and see if it can continue or if somebody else is out there. We left all of our options open.”
