Larson will travel to Rockingham after competing in the Nationwide Series race at Texas Motor Speedway Friday night. Larson, a 20-year-old NNS Rookie-of-the-Year contender, will make his first NCWTS start of the season behind the wheel of the #30 Autism Speaks Chevy Silverado. Larsons NNS crew chief, Trent Owens, will also make the trip from Texas to Rockingham and call the race on Sunday afternoon. In just four previous career NCTWS starts, Larson has collected three top-10 finishes, including a runner-up designation, and led over 90 laps. His last two NNS starts have produced a second- and a sixth-place finish, as he currently sits seventh in driver point standings.

This weekend will mark Larsons first ‘Double Duty” attempt in NASCARs top-three series.To bring attention to Autism Awareness Month, TSM has designed a special paint scheme for the #30 Silverado to honor Autism Speaks. Larsons machine will feature the signature Autism Speaks blue puzzle pieces, and the name of five-year-old Gray Owens, who is affected by Autism and is the son of crew chief Trent Owens, will be placed above the passenger-side door.(Turner Scott Motorsports PR)(See an image of the truck on the #30 paint schemes page )
