"I am very excited to join
Eddie Sharp Racing," stated Armstrong. "They are a top-level team
with a winning track record in both ARCA and the Truck Series, so it's a great
place for me to be for the next step in my career."
Armstrong raced through the midget
and sprint car ranks en route to his stock car career. Winning his first
championship at the age of six, the New Castle, Ind. native has won countless
races and championships in the USAC Kenyon Midgets, Micro Sprints and national
USAC Midget races. Armstrong made his ARCA Racing Series debut in the
Kentuckiana Ford Dealers Fall Classic at Salem (Ind.) Speedway in September
2012 where he finished 15th.
"We're very excited to have a
driver of Caleb's talent join our team at Daytona International Speedway,"
commented team owner Eddie Sharp. "For only being 20 years old, he has a
very impressive resume and clearly a lot of talent behind the wheel. He showed
a lot of speed during the ARCA [Racing Series] test in Daytona last month, and
we're excited to have him in one of our cars for the season opener."
A proven contender in the ARCA
Racing Series, Sharp joined forces with driver Justin Lofton to win the 2009
series championship. ESR has proven to be a top team for developing young
talent for NASCAR competition. Drivers like Justin Lofton, Michael McDowell,
Scott Speed and Nelson Piquet Jr. have all piloted ESR entries in the ARCA
Racing Series and have found success in the form of championships, rookie of
the year titles and race wins.
