NASCAR Xfinity Series

Teaming up with B. J. McLeod Motorsports, Bacarella made his debut in the 2017 Ticket Galaxy 200 at Phoenix. After qualifying on owner points in 37th, he cut down on Playoff contender Brennan Poole early in the race as a lapped car, eliminating Poole from the race and ending his championship hopes. Poole later sounded off on the dangers of lapped cars, as did Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Austin Dillon, who was running the race. Referring to Bacarella's overall driving, Dillon said over in-car communications "get that guy off the freaking track, man! Where did he get a licence to do this?" Poole, for his part, commented on what he saw as the need for NASCAR to look at how it approves drivers for competition. Bacarella finished 30th in the race, and ran the following week at Homestead, finishing 31st.
During the off-season, Bacarella was tapped to drive the No. 8 car once again at the season opener at Daytona in 2018.
