JD Motorsports made headlines on Wednesday (December 6) with the announcement of their latest signing: 22-year-old Dawson Cram. Set to compete in the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season, Cram brings a wealth of experience despite his young age.
Having dabbled in part-time Xfinity Series racing over the past three seasons, Cram is no stranger to the track. Additionally, he has logged considerable time in the Truck Series, accruing 31 starts across four seasons with various teams. Now, he’s poised to take on the #4 Chevrolet Camaro on a full-time basis for JD Motorsports.
Expressing his gratitude for the opportunity, Cram shared his excitement about joining the Johnny Davis-owned team. In a heartfelt statement released by the team, the San Diego native conveyed his enthusiasm for the upcoming NASCAR Xfinity Series season with JD Motorsports.
With this new chapter in his racing career, Cram aims to make the most of his full-time ride with JD Motorsports. As he prepares to hit the track in the #4 Xfinity car, all eyes will be on him to see how he fares in the highly competitive world of NASCAR.
“I’m very excited to move along in NASCAR with Johnny’s team. I’ve seen how they work and how they race every week, and I know they build good cars and fast cars. I know this will be a plus for me and the team,” he was quoted as saying.
While the length of Dawson Cram’s contract with JD Motorsports remains undisclosed, the deal secures him as the driver of the #4 Chevy Camaro for the foreseeable future, signaling a commitment from both parties to work together in the long term.
Cram’s journey in the Xfinity Series has been marked by perseverance and gradual progress.

Throughout the 2023 season, Cram continued to gain valuable experience, competing in a total of nine races with various teams, including CHK Racing and SS-Green Light Racing.
Despite facing challenges along the way, Cram showed glimpses of his potential, with a standout performance at the season finale race at Phoenix Raceway, where he achieved a career-best finish of 19th place.
