ARCA Re/Max Series regular Justin Lofton will compete for CJM Racing in four NASCAR Nationwide Series races this season.

Lofton will drive in the events at Michigan, Lowe's Motor Speedway, Texas and Homestead.

Lofton has driven for Eddie Sharp Racing's ARCA team for the past two seasons. In his debut ARCA season, he garnered one win, three top-five and five top-10 finishes in 20 starts. This season, he has one win, seven top-five, seven top-10 finishes and five poles in nine starts.

"Justin's natural ability behind the wheel of a race car has been impressive and we're looking forward to taking it to the next level with him," CJM Racing co-owner Tony Mullet said. "We're starting out with a smaller program with hopes of securing something long-term down the road. This is an exciting time for the CJM Racing organization."

More details regarding sponsorship and specific details about the team, which is an addition to the organization's full-time effort with Scott Lagasse Jr., will be announced at a later time.
