After a month hiatus, the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series will be back in action this weekend at Dover (Del.) International Speedway. Tyler Ankrum and his No. 54 May's Hawaii team look to continue the positive momentum after earning a sixth-place finish in their last race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.

During the month of April the No. 52 team ran the HFR Race for Autism fundraiser to benefit Crossroads Center for Children in Schenectady, N.Y. The Friesen family has a special connection to the cause since their son, Parker, was diagnosed on the autism spectrum shortly after his first birthday and attends Crossroads Center. All proceeds from the fundraiser help with technology updates and support, materials for teaching, play and social skills and allowing the school to offer salary and benefits to staff in order to retain dedicated people.

Although this will be his first NGOTS start at Dover, Sheldon Creed has previously competed there in 2017 in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East where he started seventh and led seven laps en route to a fourth-place finish.

NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series star Todd Gilliland visited Phillis Wheatley Elementary School in Bridgeville, Delaware, today to help announce the winner of Dover International Speedway’s fourth annual Monster Mile Youth Nation Design Challenge.

Ross Chastain on Racing at Texas: “I can’t wait to get this TrüNorth™/Paul Jr. Designs Chevrolet on the track,” said Chastain. “I’ve had this one circled on my calendar for a while. Everyone at Niece Motorsports has been working extra hard on this truck and I’m excited to get to be the one behind the wheel. We had a great race last week in Martinsville, and I feel strongly that we will run up front again this week in Al Niece’s back yard.”

Angela Ruch on Racing at Texas: “To say I am beyond thrilled to be here representing Niece Motorsports for my first time at Texas Motor Speedway would be an understatement,” said Ruch. “I am truly grateful to be a part of such an incredible team and I have no doubt I will make the Niece Motorsports team proud.”

Chad Finley Racing (CFR) announced today that NASCAR veteran driver Garrett Smithley will drive the team’s No. 42 Chevrolet Silverado in Friday night’s Vankor 350k at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS).

The fifth race of the 2019 NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series race will take place this weekend on the mile-and-a-half track of Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. DGR-Crosley will have two entries in the Vankor 350: the No. 17 May's Hawaii Toyota Tundra for Tyler Ankrum and the No. 54 Ceco Building Systems Tundra for NASCAR Next alumni Anthony Alfredo.
