Brett Moffitt to make Sprint Cup Series debut at Dover

Jay Robinson Racing announced that Brett Moffitt will make his Sprint Cup Series debut this weekend at Dover International Speedway. The 21-year-old will be behind the wheel of the No. 66 Toyota that has been piloted by Joe Nemechek so far this year.

“I’m honored Jay asked me to drive his car at Dover,” Moffitt said. “The Monster Mile is a tough, but fun track and I can’t wait to get there. I won the 2009 & 2010 K&N East races at Dover so I think I’ll feel comfortable there, but Sprint Cup racing is a whole new world.”

The Grimes, Iowa native is a nine-time winner in the K&N Pro Series East and a current test driver for Toyota Racing Development. Moffitt made his Nationwide Series debut in 2012 at Iowa Speedway, finishing ninth.

“Brett is a very young driver with a lot of experience for his age,” said Robinson. “If you ask around the garage, you will learn he’s one of the most respected young men in the sport who just hasn’t had a chance at a full-time ride. We think he has a lot of talent and will show it at Dover.”
