“In the first two races of the year, we have seen some tremendous speed come out of the McAnally-Hilgemann Racing trucks ever since they became a part of an alliance with our team at GMS Racing,” GMS Racing President Mike Beam said in a release. “We look forward to working with their newest driver, Jake Garcia, and seeing the progression of our alliance throughout the season.”
“I’m excited to work with MHR and Chevrolet in this next step in my racing career,” Garcia said. “I’m looking forward to learning a lot from this opportunity and I look for us to have some good finishes in these races with MHR.”
The 17-year-old made one start in the ARCA Menards Series West last fall at Phoenix Raceway and finished sixth. He’s also ran in multiple Cars Pro Late Model Tour events, earning six top fives and eight top 10s.
Garcia will join Derek Kraus and Colby Howard, who pilot Nos. 19 and 91, respectively, for MHR.
