Herring making first start of the year:

This week the #54 Monster Energy seat will see a new driver when 26-year-old Drew Herring tackles the first of two-scheduled races, both 2013 Iowa events, in the Joe Gibbs Racing winning Camry. Herring, a familiar face at JGR, along with the six-time 2013 winners look forward to week 12 running the Pioneer 250 at Iowa Speedway in Newton. In 2010 Benson, N.C. native Herring began his NASCAR Nationwide Series career at Baker Curb Racing with his debut race at Iowa Speedway. He accomplished a 15th-place finish in that inaugural series run and then continued the year with two top-20 finishes in four series starts.(JGR)
