Dakoda Armstrong of New Castle, Ind., 2010 ARCA Racing Series Rookie of the Year, currently looks to his debut in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Iowa Speedway with ThorSport Racing with a “winning momentum.” This past weekend, Armstrong powered home to take the checkers at Winchester Speedway in his home state’s ARCA Racing Series event with Cunningham Motorsports – his last ARCA Racing Series race before embarking on his NCWTS career in 2011. Armstrong admitted that Ryan Blaney’s No. 25 Venturini Motorsports Chevrolet was the car to beat before his late tire woes. Nonetheless, he called the win a good one for his team, saying, “We’ll definitely take it.” A native of nearby New Castle, Ind., Armstrong knew that passing at the track just 35 minutes from his hometown would be tough, but did not allow that to slow him. Armstrong’s win made him the 101st driver in ARCA Racing Series history with three career wins, following Ty Dillon, who became the 100th earlier this season by winning at Talladega Superspeedway. He will have a truck and crew chief unveiling at Kentucky Speedway on Thursday, July 7th at 12:30pmET in the media center. Armstrong’s debut will be at Iowa Speedway Saturday, July 16th, 2011 in the No. 98 Chevy Silverado.(ThorSport Racing PR)(6-28-2011)
