The Xfinity Series will officially add Pocono to their schedule. This will most likely be the spring race since Trucks go in the summer.

Maybe Ryan Truex in the 43 or 98 for RPM next season since he's running some races this year?

Elliott Sadlar has been confirmed to Jr Motorsports for 2016 with One Main Financial and hoping to get into championship contention again.

*its Brennen Poole not Brandon

GMS Racing (Truck Series Team) has reported that they will run a part time schedule next year and plan to run full time in 2017. Most likely the driver will be Spenser Gallagher.

Regan Smith is out of JR Motorsports for 2016 and is in the Silly Season for the Sprint Cup. This makes Josh Berry and Ben Rhodes' future a lot more clearer.

As son as I said Ben Rhodes has a opportunity with Jr Motorsports, he decides to leave and is seeking a ride. Maybe Cole Custer?

unless Custer comes with sponsorship than they would still probably go with Berry over Custer

Justin Allgaier is now the leading contender for the Regan Smith ride with help from the experience with Hendrick Motorsports

It is offical Justin Allgaier will be replacing Regan Smith over at Jr Motorsports. Brandt will move over with him to be his primary sponsor for 18 out of 33 races. No other sponsors yet.

Sticking with Jr Motorsports the #88 car (The Allstar Car) will race full time again with Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Kasey Kahne and Chase Elliott. This sets the lineup for Jr Motorsports as of right now. No words on if they will keep Josh Berry or not.

Chris Buescher will be staying in the Xfinity Series for another season and he saids he does not feel ready yet as his only races were with a underfunded team in the Sprint Cup Series.

Ross Chastain is returning to the JD Motorsports #4 next season

also Alex Bowman will be racing 9 races for JRM in 2016 in the 88

Good to know

btw just from reading on Jayski David Starr is signed with TriStar through 2016

signed 3 year deal in 2014

The Chart has been updated 11/14/15

Now there is talk of a Chase format in the Xfinity series. But here is the format before leaving a replay:
12 Drivers make it
7 races with 4 2 race rounds and 1 race at Homestead
3 drivers get eliminated after each round
4 will fight for the championship

Ty Dillon will be staying in the Xfinity series for 2016 with the same sponsors

Apparently James Hinchcliffe (IRL Driver) wants a chance in an xfinity ride with Ganassi. Interesting...

Dakoda Armstrong is done and gone from Richard Petty Motorsports. Not a surprise hear at all since Petty is not the best team out there to put in a name for yourself. With Dakoda's low production this year, I would not be surprised to see him go to truck or try and get lucky with a good Xfinity ride.

Cope is planning to run a full season in the xfinity series

unless they can find a young driver to pilot the seat that has money

Did the same thing over here

Dakoda Armstorg rumored to go to RCR next season. RCR brought him into the sport so not surprised at this.
