UPDATE:‚ Following in the footsteps of his uncle, Carlos Contreras, Enrique Contreras III is poised to make his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut in this weekend’s Kroger 200 from Martinsville Speedway. In a joint partnership between SS Green Light Racing and Rick Ware Racing, the younger Contreras will pilot the #07 RaceTrac Chevy Silverado in the highly anticipated 200-lap slugfest Saturday afternoon. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, RaceTrac has been serving guests since 1934 and now operates more than 370 convenience stores locations in Georgia, Florida, Louisiana and Texas. The 22-year old driver advances his career to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, after participating in the full 2014 NASCAR Toyota Series season, where four top-10 finishes contributed to his 18th place championship standings placement. With the goal of acquiring seat time, Contreras, the 2011 NASCAR Toyota Series rookie of the year, will utilize his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut to strengthen his racing resume, but also make a bid for participation in further NCWTS races next season.(Catchfence.com)
