Last season, Gaughan ran the entire Truck Series schedule for Germain Racing, finishing 12th in championship points with one Top-5 and eight Top-10 finishes in 25 starts. His best finish was a third in the UNOH 225 at Kentucky Speedway on July 7. A year ago, he drove for Rusty Wallace Racing on the Nationwide tour.
“I’ve never been willing to run a partial schedule before, because I wanted to win championships,” said Gaughan “While I won’t be running for a driver’s championship, Richard Childress is pretty serious about having the #2 Truck win the 2012 owners championship. He’s expecting a lot from that truck and that team, so I need to go out there and put points on the board. I’m tired of fudging around, trying to find teams that can run for a championship. Last year was a bummer of a season, but RCR doesn’t have bummer seasons.
“If I can go out and win races this season, that’s exactly what I want to do. I’m going to prove that I can still win.”
Tim George, Jr. will run the 12 Truck events in which Gaughan does not compete, with an all-star lineup of RCR drivers – including Kevin Harvick -- sharing time in the No. 33 Nationwide car.
Anything is an improvement from where he spent 2011.....Good luck Bren.
