The hiring of Lucius comes in the wake of the team releasing Kasey Jedrzejek earlier this week. Jedrzejek made that announcement in a post to Facebook, “I want to share that I have officially been released from my driving duties with Bill Rose Racing. I’m grateful to Bill Rose for giving me the opportunity to compete with the team and for the experiences I gained along the way. I appreciate everyone who worked alongside me and supported me during this chapter of my racing career. I’m proud of the work we put in, the challenges we faced, and everything I learned from the experience.”
Bill Rose Racing added in a separate release, “After careful consideration, Bill Rose Racing has made the decision to part ways with Kasey Jedrzejek as our driver, effective immediately.”
“We appreciate the time, effort, and commitment Kasey has given to Bill Rose Racing during his time with our team. We wish him nothing but the best in his future racing endeavors and hope to see continued success for him moving forward,” the team continued. “As with any race team, being part of Bill Rose Racing goes beyond what happens on the track. Our drivers represent our team, our sponsors, our partners, and everyone who works behind the scenes to make this program possible. Moving forward, we feel this is the right decision for the direction of our team and partners.”
