Though former Camping World Truck Series driver Gray Gaulding has not made a NASCAR-sanctioned start so far in 2016 there’s plenty to be excited for in terms of his future career. Gaulding will announce his plans to run select XFINITY Series races this season ‘next week,’ saying he is excited to finally make the decision public. ‘[I’m] really looking forward to it,’ Gaulding told Frontstretch Friday at Martinsville. ‘I have some good tracks I’m going to go to and be able to run that I’ve ran before. I’m looking forward to announcing my team.’ A native of Virginia, Gaulding is a winner in the K&N; Pro Series West Series and has 13 CWTS starts to his record, earning a best of fourth at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in 2014. Making 38 starts in the K&N; Pro Series East from 2013 to ’15, Gaulding had three runner-up results.(Frontstretch)(4-2-2016)
