Earnhardt, who competed full-time for Alpha Prime Racing last season, made his Sam Hunt Racing debut in 2022. He made nine starts for the Toyota team. His best finish was seventh at Nashville Superspeedway.
“Jeffrey is a great guy that everyone enjoys being around and working with,” said team owner Sam Hunt in a statement. “We’ve had some great conversations over the past couple months and know he is committed to the program, as well as to the TRD family.
“His experience and full perspective view on the sport is always refreshing, and feel we had great speed together in 2022. I’m excited to build on that momentum and pick up where we left off and look forward to welcoming the ForeverLawn family back to the Sam Hunt Racing camp.”
