“I’m so grateful to be returning to Young’s Motorsports with an even busier schedule for 2022,” said Grala. I will be racing at some of my favorite tracks throughout the season and will have even more chances to prove myself than I’ve had in years, starting at Las Vegas.”

It’s been a busy week for Grala. In addition to returning to Young’s Motorsports, Grala was recently named the driver of the No. 50 Pit Viper Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE for The Money Team Racing (TMTR), a brand-new NASCAR Cup Series team owned by five-division world champion and Boxing Hall of Famer Floyd “Money” Mayweather, which will vie for one of the 40 starting spots in this year’s Daytona 500 on February 20.

I can’t thank Tyler (Young, team principal) and the Young family enough for believing in me. I don’t plan to let them down!”

In his 36 Truck Series starts, Grala has achieved one win, one pole, six top-five and 17 top-10 finishes. In just his 10th Truck Series start, he pulled off an upset victory in the season-opening race at Daytona (Fla.)

For Tyler Young, the pairing of two veteran and talented drivers like Grala and Little offers the opportunity for Young’s Motorsports to continue their winning ways in the 23-race schedule which kicks off at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway on Feb. 18, 2022.

“We are beyond stoked to welcome back Kaz Grala to Young’s Motorsports this season,” said Young. “Even with his limited starts and track time with our team last year, he was able to climb into the truck and make the most of each opportunity, nearly putting us in Victory Lane at Circuit of the Americas.

“With an opportunity to increase his schedule this year and pair him with a talented driver like Jesse Little, I feel like everyone involved will have a chance to shine.”
