Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport (JAR-BA) has officially set its driver lineup for the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series campaign, the team announced on Friday.
Jeb Burton will return to the driver’s seat of the No. 27 Chevrolet for a third consecutive season, while Blaine Perkins will join forces with the organization to drive the flagship No. 31 Chevrolet.
“We’re excited to continue building this program with Jeb and Blaine as we lay the groundwork for the future entering our fifth season in the Xfinity Series,” said Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport owner, Jordan Anderson.
“The journey from a single-car operation to where we are now speaks to our team’s perseverance and grown mindset. Having Jeb return as the veteran to our program will continue to add depth and the experience needed to take us to the next level. I’m grateful for Parker Retzlaff’s efforts these last two seasons in the No. 31 and the opportunity to assist in his growth as a driver as he continues to move up the ranks.”
Burton is a two-time winner in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and was responsible for capturing Jordan Anderson Racing’s first win and subsequent post-season berth in 2023. The Halifax, Virginia-native will continue to work with Shane Whitbeck.
“Coming back for a third season with Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport means a lot to me,” said Burton. “We’re building something special here, and I’m ready to carry the momentum forward into 2025. It’s a privilege to work with this team, and I’m grateful to Jordan, John, Shane, and all our great partners involved for their belief in what we’re doing. I’m looking forward to putting this Chevrolet back up-front next season and giving our fans something to cheer for.”
Perkins is a native of Bakersfield, California, and enters what will be his third season of competing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. In 75 career starts, Perkins has recorded a single top-10 finish, coming at Martinsville in 2022 with Our Motorsports.
“Joining Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport is an exciting step in my career development,” said Perkins. “To be part of such a dedicated Chevrolet organization with a team that shares a passion for growth and success is a fantastic opportunity. I’m looking forward to representing the team and all our partners with everything I have and making the most of the 2025 season.”
The 24-year-old driver is a three-time winner in the ARCA Menards Series West, and finished runner-up in the championship with the now-defunct Sunrise Ford Racing in 2020.
“We have the same vision with Blaine [Perkins] next season and plan to give him all the tools, and opportunities, to continue developing as a driver on and off the track. This is a fantastic opportunity to keep expanding our program with focused drivers, dedicated team members, and committed partners who believe in our shared vision for the organization.”
As Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport makes changes towards the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series campaign, the team is set to continue its relationship with Chevrolet, powered by ECR Engines.
“Teamwork truly makes the dream work, and it’s a ‘never give up’ mentality that drives everything we do,” said team co-owner, John Bommarito. “We’re eager to see what Jeb and Blaine can accomplish together. Both of these drivers embody the integrity and tenacity we aim to bring to the track, and with the entire JAR-BA family behind them, we know we’re set for another season of great achievements.”
On Thursday, speaking with Alan Cavanna and Larry McReynolds on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Anderson stated that he will be driving the No. 32 Chevrolet Camaro, a third entry for the team, at Daytona.
Additional information about the driver line-up for the No. 32 will be announced at a later date.
