GMS Racing -- formerly known
as Gallagher Motorsports -- has signed 2011 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East
Champion Max Gresham to drive the No. 23 AmWINS Chevrolet Silverado in five
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races this season. Gresham is coming off his
first full NCWTS season, where the 20-year-old captured one Top-5 and four Top-10
finishes.
In 2011, Gresham recorded
four poles, two wins, nine Top-5 and 11 Top-10 finishes in 12 events, en route
to the K&N Pro Series East championship. The Milner, Georgia native has
also competed in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards, notching three
poles, one win, and eight top-10 finishes.
“I’ve been
fortunate to have a lot of success up to this point of my career,” said
Gresham. “However, my first Truck Series win hasn’t come yet and I really
believe I have a great shot at getting to Victory Lane with GMS Racing. With
support from Chevrolet and Richard Childress Racing, the team has everything
needed to succeed. Charlotte can’t come fast enough so I can get behind the
wheel of the No. 23 AmWINS Chevrolet.”
Gresham’s first Truck
Series race of 2014 will come at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May, followed by
Kentucky Speedway in June, Bristol Motor Speedway in August, Martinsville Speedway
in October and Texas Motor Speedway in November.
"Everyone at GMS
Racing is excited to welcome Max Gresham to our talented driver pool,” said Nic
Moncher, team manager. “Max has showcased his talent at every level he has
competed in and we look forward to helping him earn his first NASCAR Camping
World Truck Series victory."
When not behind the
wheel, Gresham will attend ARCA Racing Series and NCWTS events, spotting and assisting
fellow GMS Racing drivers Joey Coulter and Spencer Gallagher.
