2023 Fantasy Outlook
He was overshadowed by much more high-profile rookies last season, but Mayer was the best young driver in the Xfinity Series that didn't get the headlines every week. Mayer made a big splash with the No. 1 JRM team by collecting 11 Top-5 and 19 Top-10 finishes. Although the young driver didn't scratch the win column, Mayer showed incredible maturity and consistency behind the wheel on a weekly basis. The result would be a decent drive into the Xfinity Series playoffs and a final ranking of seventh-place in the driver standings. Mayer will get a new crew chief for season two. Mardy Lindley joins the team and will look to continue Mayer's development as a driver. We would not be surprised to see him crack the win column in 2023 and post even more counting performance stats. Read Past Outlooks

Third at Portland
XFINITY Series
June 3, 2023
Mayer finished third in the Pacific Office Automation 147 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Portland International Raceway Saturday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
Mayer would perform one of the most impressive drives of the day at the Portland road course. He'd come from 36th-place on the starting grid to patiently work his way forward. Mayer would crack the Top 10 by the end of stage 2 and remain there the rest of the way. The final restart would see Mayer hold off Josh Berry in the frantic closing laps to secure the strong third-place finish. It was his second Top-5 finish of the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Michael Annett retired at the end of last season and brought to an end his 11-season career in the Xfinity Series. JRM moved quickly and filled the No. 1 Chevrolet with prospect Mayer in an announcement October of last year. The 18-year-old made a big impression racing in just 18 events last season. Mayer claimed one Top-5 and six Top-10 finishes in those efforts. However, he did crash and DNF in six events as well. That shows he still has a lot to learn, but the talent is there to be developed. Mayer has won races and championships at every level he's raced, so he's quite talented. He'll get the full 33-race schedule and this strong race team as his support for his rookie campaign. Mayer is a talent to watch closely this season, and he could have some impact in the orbit of the championship battle.
Mayer will share the No. 75 Chevrolet in 2021. The team has committed to the first handful of races in the upcoming season with Mayer sharing the truck with Parker Kligerman. More races could be added if funding is made possible.
