For the 2013 season, Herring ran six races for JGR, posting two sixth-place finishes and had only one DNF due to a crash at Bristol Motor Speedway.[5] After not running any races in 2014, he qualified as a stand-in for JGR twice in 2015, but did not run a single race.[6] At the same time, Herring became a Toyota Racing Development test driver, often testing experimental setups for NASCAR Cup Series cars.[7]

Cup Series

In November 2019, Herring joined Gaunt Brothers Racing for his only cup start in the 2019 Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead–Miami Speedway, driving the No. 96 with a special paint scheme celebrating TRD's 40th anniversary. His start later became notable due to race manipulation scheme meant to prevent his team from winning the owner's championship for the highest placed non-charter team.[8][9]

Spotting career

On December 6, 2020, it was revealed that Herring would become the new spotter for Joe Gibbs Racing's No. 19 of Martin Truex Jr. in the Cup Series starting in 2021. He replaced Clayton Hughes, who left JGR for Front Row Motorsports to be the spotter for the No. 34 of Michael McDowell[1] after the retirement of McDowell's previous spotter Rocky Ryan.[10]
