Creed is set to make his first career start at Iowa Speedway in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series.

Lessard will return to NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series competition this weekend driving the No. 17 Réseau Dynamique Toyota Tundra. Saturday’s M&M’s 200 presented by Casey’s General Store at Iowa Speedway (Newton, Iowa) will mark the first of two races that Lessard picked up with DGR-Crosley this season.

Angela Ruch on Racing at Texas: “I’ve had this date circled on my calendar since I left Texas earlier this year,” said Ruch. “Our 44 team showed good speed all weekend and we were on the move early in the race before our incident. I’m excited to get back behind the wheel in Texas and compete at this fast track under the lights again Friday night.”

Ross Chastain on Racing at Texas: “Texas is a special place for our team owner Al, so there’s definitely a little added pressure to perform well for him and all of his employees out here this week,” said Chastain.

Kyle Benjamin on Racing at Texas: "I'm looking forward to this opportunity with Niece Motorsports,” said Kyle Benjamin.  “Phil (Gould, crew chief) and the team have made 1.5-mile tracks a focus, and it showed in Ross Chastain's win in Kansas.  I'm leaning on them this weekend and will use the race as a learning experience, but I'd also like to give them a good result we can build on."

DGR-Crosley announced today that RAILBLAZA has partnered with Tyler Ankrum for the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway (Fort Worth, Texas) on Friday. RAILBLAZA, an outdoor mounting system company, will be the primary sponsor on Ankrum’s No. 17 Toyota Tundra as he competes in the SpeedyCash.com 400.

Stewart Friesen and the No. 52 team will utilize chassis No. 301. Friesen competed with this chassis earlier this year at Texas, where he qualified ninth and finished second, as well as Kansas and Atlanta.

Sheldon Creed led his first laps in Gander Trucks competition in his first start at Texas Motor Speedway in October 2018.

Anthony Alfredo is ready to get back in his No. 15 Steelsmith Toyota Tundra this weekend after picking up a career-best finish in his last NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series start last month at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series (NGOTS) winner Ross Chastain will officially declare for NGOTS points for the remainder of the 2019 season.
