MOORESVILLE, NC – November 8, 2012 – With just two races remaining in the 2012 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series campaign the SS Green Light Racing team is ready with two up and coming young drivers for Friday evening’s Lucas Oil 150 at the Phoenix International Raceway.

“I have known Todd’s family for a long time,” Dotter said. “They have deep roots in NASCAR racing and Todd is getting used to the ropes of the Truck Series. This weekend will continue to help him grow and gain experience. We’ll make sure that we prepare a fast truck for all his partners and fans. I’m looking forward to Friday night.”
