Chase Elliott will drive the No. 24 for GMS Racing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway, the team announced Wednesday, June 2.
He’ll have sponsorship from A SHOC.
Elliott competed for the team in three events in 2020, earning a win at Charlotte Motor Speedway and a fourth place at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He has three total victories across 15 Truck starts dating back to 2013, as well as 10 top fives and 12 top 10 finishes.
In the Cup Series, Elliott has one win at Circuit of the Americas, seven top fives and nine top 10s so far this season. The 2020 Cup champion has 12 career wins, 66 top fives and 105 top 10s.

Maybe he can prevent the Baby Busch Benefit robbery.
Chase won the Truck bounty last season beating Kyle.
Don’t like either Cup champion running the truck races. I’d give past Cup champions one appearance in the truck series per year and that’s it.
The key thing here is the money, as always. Chase is bringing a new sponsor with him and that’s the main reason he’s in the race. That’s the benefit of Cup drivers competing in the lower series most fans don’t recognize. GMS gets a nice cash infusion.
