Carson Ferguson will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut at Bristol Motor Speedway, Kaulig Racing announced April 3.
Ferguson will drive the No. 25 Ram truck.
He finished second to Mini Tyrrell in the RAM Race for the Seat series and won the season finale at South Boston Speedway, winning $50,000.
“I’m thrilled for the chance to make my NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series debut at Bristol through the Ram Free Agent Program,” Ferguson said in a release. “Competing on ‘Race for the Seat’ was an incredible experience, and even though I came up just short of the full-time ride, getting this shot to race with Kaulig Racing means a lot. Bristol is a tough, high-banked track and a heck of a place to make your pavement debut in NASCAR. I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of that No. 25 Ram and show what I can do.”
Ferguson is currently running the full time in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series for Paylor Motorsports.
Tony Stewart, Ty Dillon, Corey LaJoie and Colin Braun drove the No. 25 truck this year.
