\nDalton Sargeant will drive one of the GMS Racing trucks this season in the Camping World Truck Series.<\/p>\n
Sargeant, 19, will compete for Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors while driving the No. 25 Chevrolet. Doug Randolph is slated to act as his crew chief. Randolph was the crew check at Brad Keselowski Racing (BKR) last season for Austin Cindric. With BKR disbanding Randolph was free to join GMS.<\/p>\n
\u201cReally excited about being in the Truck Series this year,\u201d Sargeant told NASCAR.com \u201cRacing in one of the top three levels in NASCAR is going to be something that\u2019s really special and it\u2019s always been a dream of mine. Really looking forward to that and seeing what we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s something that\u2019s pretty incredible to watch because GMS Racing is a pretty new team,\u201d Sargeant says. \u201cJust to only be racing for a couple of years and to already have a championship and multiple wins under their belt is something that\u2019s really encouraging. The first time I went to the shop and saw all the things that these guys are doing and the amount of hard work and effort that they\u2019re putting in is something that\u2019s special to be able to see.<\/p>\n
Sargeant has made six starts in the truck series over the last two seasons. He won three races in the ARCA series last year while finishing second in the overall driver standings.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey want to keep growing and getting better and better, and want to keep winning. So that\u2019s encouraging as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sargeant’s No. 25 is meant to be a tribute to late Cup Series driver Tim Richmond.<\/p>\n
\u201cTim Richmond used to run it in the past, so that\u2019s something that\u2019s pretty cool \u2014 one of the guys that I look up to,\u201d Sargeant said. \u201cWe kind of stylized the number a little bit after the way it looked when he ran it. Looking forward to that, it\u2019s going to be pretty cool. He\u2019s one of the best guys that\u2019s raced in NASCAR.\u201d<\/p>\n
His first race will be the NextERA Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think as a whole, we have a lot of goals that we want to try to reach as a team,\u201d Sargeant says, \u201cbut for myself and our group at the 25 truck, I think we\u2019re really looking forward to going out there and definitely trying to compete for Rookie of the Year as well as pop off a couple of wins. Hope for the best, try and make it to the final four and see if we can\u2019t win a championship.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
