PJ Chesson has been the surprise success of the season, winning the last two races in the series after making a late start to the season - direct from a career in the World of Outlaws dirt track scene.

James Chesson, 23, comes from a similar background and was the 2002 National Midget Rookie of the Year.

Kathryn Nunn, who runs the IPS squad with husband Mo, commented: "We're so excited to be in a position to expand our young program. As we looked to the future, this was the next logical step."

James Chesson had been taking a break from racing. "To be honest, I never had any intention of racing this year," he said, "but after watching PJ over the last five races and seeing the success the team has enjoyed, I got the itch to get back on track. I'm pumped to go racing again with my brother."
