Tayler Malsam will be
behind the wheel of the Turner Scott Motorsports No. 32 Outerwall Inc.
Chevrolet Silverado in12 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races through the remainder
of the 2014 season, beginning this weekend at Kansas Speedway. The 25-year-old
made his NCWTS debut in 2008 and competed full time in 2009, where he garnered
10 Top-10 finishes and ranked 12th in driver points.
A native of Seattle,
Washington, Malsam began racing go-karts at the age of 16 and quickly
progressed to the ARCA Racing Series, where he ran a full season as a Penske
Development Driver. While competing in the NCWTS for Kyle Busch Motorsports in
2010, Malsam got a midseason opportunity to advance to the NASCAR Nationwide
Series with Braun Racing, where he ran 11 events for the now-Turner Scott
Motorsports team. Malsam embarked on his first full-time NNS season in 2012
with TriStar Motorsports and ranked 15th in the Driver Point Standings.
Currently, Malsam is competing in sprint cars and will balance both racing
schedules throughout the 2014 season.
"It's great to be
back in the NASCAR garage and back on track with the Truck Series," said
Malsam. "I can't thank Outerwall and Turner Scott Motorsports enough for
their support and for giving me this opportunity. Mike (Hillman Jr.) is an
accomplished crew chief and I think, together, we can get the Outerwall Chevy
Silverado in victory lane this season."
Malsam will be under the
direction of two-time NCWTS championship-winning crew chief Mike Hillman Jr.
throughout the 12 races. In 2013, Hillman directed the No. 4 truck and claimed
one victory, seven pole awards and finished the season in fifth place in the
NCWTS Driver Point Standings. Hillman and Malsam will team up for the following
