Dylan Lupton will make his return to the NASCAR Gander RV and Outdoors Truck Series this week as the driver of the No. 17 Ford for DGR-Crosley at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The Sacramento, Calif., native will also strap in the seat of the No. 17 for Texas Motor Speedway and the season finale at Phoenix Raceway, the team announced today, Sept. 21.
Lupton last made a start in the Truck Series at Phoenix in November 2019, starting and finishing the race in 16th. That was the end of a five-race stint with DGR, and he also made one appearance with Young’s Motorsports.
Lupton’s best finish in the series is a fifth that came at Kentucky Speedway in 2019. Friday will be his ninth start in the series.
