Fellows has four victories and two poles in NASCAR’s second-tier series. In his two other drives for JRM he had two top-five finishes.

"It's great to be back with JR Motorsports this year," the 50-year-old Fellows said. “I’m extremely grateful to AER and GT Vodka for making this program possible. I know we'll be competitive and able to run up front at these facilities.”  

“We are thrilled to have Ron back with us,” said JR Motorsports general manager and co-owner Kelley Earnhardt. “He is an incredible talent behind the wheel, and he will bring a lot of experience and insight to our program. Any time he’s driving, he’s a threat to win.”

In his highly successful career Fellows has two class wins in the 24 Hours of LeMans, three class championships in the ALMS series and 19 overall wins in SCCA’s Trans-Am series.

His NASCAR credentials include six overall wins (two in the Camping World Truck Series), and two runner-up finishes in Sprint Cup competition. In addition to his Nationwide Series victories, he also has seven top-fives, and, eight top-10s and two poles in 15 starts.
