Preston Pardus, Pardus Racing returning for select Xfinity races in 2025

Preston Pardus and Pardus Racing will return to the Xfinity Series in 2025 to run select races. The No. 50 Chevrolet will first hit the track in the third race of the season at Circuit of The Americas.

Pardus, the road racing, ace, has competed in at least four Xfinity races in each of the past five seasons. Last season, he failed to qualify at COTA, but made starts at four other road courses — Portland, Sonoma, Chicago, Charlotte Roval — and Martinsville in the penultimate race of the season.

In 28 career Xfinity starts, Pardus has a trio of top-10 finishes, with a best effort of seventh at the Charlotte Roval in 2021.
