“Obviously I’m excited to get back into a racecar and work again with the Venturini organization. We had a good test a few weeks ago and I’m expecting a strong showing given the package we’re bringing back to the track this weekend,” stated, Townley.

Townley, current driver of the No.09 Zaxby’s RAB Racing Toyota in the Camping World Truck Series, drove for Venturini Motorsports before moving up to the truck series.
