Townley will run restrictor plate races:

Athenian Motorsports will field full-time entries in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards in 2016. The organization will also campaign a part-time entry in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Fresh off a popular win in Las Vegas in October and an eighth-place finish in the NASCAR Truck Series driver standings, John Wes Townley will return behind the wheel of the company’s #05 Chevrolet Silverado. Townley will also pilot the majority of the upcoming season’s ARCA races in AMS’ $05 Chevrolet. For the second consecutive season, the team will compete with Chevrolet engines supplied by Hendrick Motorsports. Townley is also scheduled to compete in three Xfinity Series races, two in Daytona and one in Talladega, Ala., in AMS’ #25 Chevrolet Camaro.(Athenian Motorports)
