Twenty-year-old Mason Mingus will follow up his rookie season in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with a return to the #15 Chevy Silverado of Billy Boat Motorsports for the 2015 season. He’ll enter the 23-race campaign with the continuing support of 811, a new crew chief and momentum generated in the final races of the 2014 season. The Brentwood, Tenn., native finished 11th in the NCWTS championship last year, earning one top-10 and six top-15 finishes in a campaign that included 16 races with Win-Tron Racing and the final six races with BBM, owned by former open-wheel racer Billy Boat. Mingus will return to the #15 BBM team with a new crew chief in Dennis Connor. The 34-year NASCAR veteran has three NCWTS championships to his credit and has worked with drivers including Tim Richmond, Jack Sprague and, most recently, Johnny Sauter. The underground damage prevention phone line 811 will return as a year-long associate sponsor with Mingus’ racing program. The 811 line encourages homeowners and professional excavators to “Call Before You Dig” to prevent damaging underground utility lines while working on digging projects.(Breaking Limits)(1-12-2015)
