Earlier this weekend, Natalie Decker made her Xfinity debut at the Daytona road course. Admittedly, she did not enjoy such a great race, as an early crash ended her hopes. Luckily, the 23-year-old still has a few more races to prove herself to her team and earn more races under her belt.

Since Decker is only participating in five races, her schedule is pretty spread out. In fact, her next race takes place all the way in April. First and foremost, Decker will race on April 24 at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. Next on the hit list is another superspeedway, namely the Nashville Superspeedway in Tennessee, on June 19.

In all, this gives Natalie Decker four more chances to prove her mettle in the big leagues. At the Daytona road course, Decker started the race in 21st; she looked set for a top-20 finish, but the wreck cost her dearly and ended her hopes.

Meanwhile, Jason White and Tyler Reddick will deputize for her in the remaining races. Admittedly, White is the team’s full-time option, but Decker and Reddick will get occasional cameos. Since Reddick is racing full-time in the Cup Series, he might race a lot less often in the Xfinity Series, compared to Decker.

On the other end of the scale, both Tyler Reddick and Natalie Decker could also get an equal number of chances in the car. However, White will most likely shoulder most of the responsibility.
