Joey
Coulter will leave Richard Childress Racing to compete for the NASCAR Camping
World Truck Series championship with Kyle Busch Motorsports next season.
The
22-year-old Coulter currently ranks fifth in the 2012 Truck Series standings
and claimed his first series win at Pocono Raceway in August. He has six Top-5
and 13 Top-10 finishes in 20 starts this season, along with a series-high four
poles. He claimed Camping World Truck Series Rookie of the Year honors in 2011.
"With
the addition of Joey Coulter to KBM's Truck Series program for the 2013 season,
we have accomplished our goal of having a talented young driver competing
full-time for a driver's championship," said team-owner Kyle Busch today.
"Joey has been running up front, competing for wins this year and we feel
like he is ready to have a breakout year. With the personnel we have in place
at KBM and the support we receive from Toyota, we're going to do everything
possible to make sure that he is in a position to bring home a championship
next season."
Coulter
is expected to complete the 2012 season with RCR.
Nice knife in the back to RCR, Joey. Guess holding Richard's watch was a waste of time.

ReplyDeleteOUCH!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGuess is RCR wanted more money for the ride so he took his money so he took his money to KBM.
ReplyDelete- who cares about the money thats not are business. if i had money i would do the same thing and I'm sure you would to.
DeleteHow about the fact that RCR isn't going to have many available opportunities for non-grandkids in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI'd say this was simply a smart a career move. No knife here.
