NASCAR Truck Series

With more than a month left in the old year, talk about the new is already starting to dominate. Tony Stewart is now retired, with Clint Bowyer no doubt thrilled at the chance to get back into quality equipment as his replacement.

Johnny Sauter started and finished the season on a high note, as he claimed victory at Daytona International Speedway in the first race of the season and then capped it off by winning his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the final race of the season. Sauter’s championship came in the inaugural year of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase.

Johnny Sauter continued Chevrolet’s winning tradition in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) by capturing his first Championship with a third-place finish in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Since the inception of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) in 1995, Chevrolet and Silverado have been competing for wins and championships. Sauter is the 13th NCWTS driver in Chevrolet’s storied history to take the Bowtie Brand to the Championship Stage.

William Byron took the lead in the closing laps to close out the season with a victory, but it was Johnny Sauter, one of the elder statesman of the series, who beat the competition to finally add a championship to his resume.

“I’m so grateful for this opportunity to represent AutoNation and make my NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut this weekend at Homestead,” said Staropoli. “The AutoNation Cure Bowl is such an amazing sporting event that not only provides a great platform for great football but also make a difference in the everyday fight for finding a cure for Breast Cancer.”

“This is a very busy weekend for us, but a very excited one at the same time,” said Young. “I’m proud to have both Scott and Patrick in our trucks this weekend. Both drivers have their own agenda for what they want to accomplish this weekend and there’s little doubt in my mind that with a little luck that can happen.

With Byron eliminated from championship contention, it is looking like GMS Racing driver Johnny Sauter, is now in prime position to hoist the championship trophy at Homestead.

Toyota captured the 2016 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) manufacturer’s championship with Daniel Suarez’s victory at Phoenix International Raceway on Friday night.
