Truex to drive for Turner Scott in Daytona:

Turner Scott Motorsports announced today that Ryan Truex will be behind the wheel of the #30 Chevy Silverado in the Camping World Truck Series season opener at Daytona International Speedway. The two-time consecutive K&N Pro Series East champion will pilot Turner Scott Motorsports fourth entry in the NextEra Energy Resources 250 with sponsorship from Bass Pro Shops. Truex, who won the NKNPSE championship in 2009 and 2010, made his NCWTS debut in 2012, running two events and earning a best finish of ninth at Phoenix International Raceway. The 20-year-old Mayetta, N.J. native has two previous NASCAR starts on superspeedways, both in the Nationwide Series. Truex most recently earned an 11th-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway in May of 2012, but finished 31st after being swept up in a late-race crash at Daytona earlier that season. Truex has a total of 35 NNS starts under his belt, collecting one pole and a total of two top-five and nine top-10 finishes. (See an image on the #30 Paint Scheme page )(Turner Scott Motorsports PR)
