AND Add Gray Gaulding to the list of drivers who will compete full-time in NASCAR’s premiere series in 2017 and a candidate for rookie-of-the-year honors. ‘Our plan is to run full-time in the Cup Series,’ Gaulding said. ‘I’m really excited about [it]. We’ll probably announce in the next couple weeks, the sponsor and the manufacturer, so got a lot of good things rolling, but you should see me full-time next year in the Sprint Cup Series.’ Gaulding said ‘the plan right now’ is to run the #30 car next season for The Motorsports Group.(The Racing Experts)(11-18-2016)
UPDATE: from the TMG website: ‘Season Greeting from The Motorsports Group. We want to thank all the fans, friends, family and partners for all the support this past season. 2017 brings in a lot of changes, including some key team changes and a new title sponsor. We look forward to our participation in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series’.
