Ryan Truex will be
behind the wheel of the No. 32 Turner Scott Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado in
the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season opener at Daytona International
Speedway, making his second-career start for the organization. The two-time
consecutive NASCAR K&N Pro Series East champion's Silverado will be
sponsored by Bass Pro Shops, a leading retailer of hunting, fishing, camping
and other outdoor equipment.
Truex won the NKNPSE
championship in 2009 and 2010 and made his NCWTS debut in 2012, running two
events with a best finish of ninth at Phoenix International Raceway. The
21-year-old Mayetta, N.J. native raced for Turner Scott at Daytona last season,
finishing 28th after a blown tire took him out of contention for the win with
nine laps remaining.
"I'm really excited
to be running for Turner Scott Motorsports again this year," said Truex.
"Last year was a lot of fun and we had a really good truck. Unfortunately,
we had a tire go out in the end, but we were making our way toward the front.
I'm looking to do the same thing again this year and stay up front this time. I
think it's really cool that Bass Pro Shops is coming on board again and helping
me out. I appreciate that they wanted to do this again after doing this race
with me last year."
Turner Scott Motorsports
had a strong run in the Daytona NCWTS race last season, with all four entries
securing starting spots in the top 10. Jeb Burton earned the team's best finish
(fifth), followed by Miguel Paludo (seventh) and James Buescher (13th).
"I'm very excited
to have Ryan back in our truck this season," said Scott. "He ran a
heck of a race for us last year and was competing for the win until the very
end. I'm glad that he's going to have a chance to come back and have a shot at
the win that eluded him last year. I'm hoping that he and Ben Kennedy will work
well together and that Ben will be able to learn from Ryan and his experience
from last year."
