Perkins moved up to theNASCAR Xfinity Series in 2021, driving part-time forOur Motorsports in their new second car, the No. 03, for at least six races beginning atMartinsville in April.^[5] After the No. 03 failed to qualify for the first few races of the season due to it not having enough owner points with entry lists of over 40 cars, Our Motorsports acquired the No. 23 car jointly fielded byRSS Racing andReaume Brothers Racing before the race at Las Vegas in March, and Perkins is now expected to instead run his races in that car. Perkins got his first career stage win in the Xfinity Series at Talladega, winning stage 2. He finished thirteenth in the end. On December 23, 2021, it was announced that Perkins would drive the No. 9Chevrolet Silverado full-time forCR7 Motorsports in 2022.^[6] He struggled throughout the 2022 season, with his best result being an eighteenth-place finish atNashville.
