Chris Buescher has never been in a truck in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, but all that will change this weekend.
Buescher will drive ThorSport Racing’s No. 66 at Watkins Glen International, the team announced Aug. 4.
FarmPaint.com is sponsoring the effort.
Despite a NASCAR career that stretches back to 2011, Buescher has never made a Truck start.
He’s the defending NASCAR Cup Series winner at Watkins Glen and has three top fives and 11 top 10 so far this season in the series, sitting 11th in points.
The No. 66 has featured a rotating roster of drivers this season, including Luke Fenhaus, Luke Baldwin, Johnny Sauter and Cam Waters. Baldwin also made his Truck debut this year.
Kevin Rutherford is the executive editor of Frontstretch, a position he gained in 2025 after being the managing editor since 2015, and serving on the editing staff since 2013.
At his day job, he's a journalist covering music and rock charts at Billboard. He lives in New York City, but his heart is in Ohio -- you know, like that Hawthorne Heights song.
