The three-driver roster will be teammates to Garrett Smithley, SSGLR’s full-time driver in the No. 14.
Emerling kicks off the season in the No. 07 at Daytona International Speedway, according to Jayski.
He was the No. 07’s primary driver in 2024, running 19 races with a best finish of 17th at Daytona.
