The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will celebrate a milestone Friday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway to kick off a full Memorial Day weekend of action. The series will take the green flag for the 700th time in its history and, with that, one individual will also complete the same milestone.
Chris Showalter is currently serving as the truck chief for the No. 2 Chevrolet piloted by Nick Sanchez at REV Racing and has been working in the Truck Series since its inaugural race at Phoenix Raceway in 1995.
“If I could‘ve told you 30 years ago that I would still be doing this, I would‘ve called you crazy,” Showalter said. “It‘s just a testament to all of the great race teams that I have been with and all of the people that I have surrounded myself with that keep me coming back every week. The Truck Series has always been a big family to me.”
