Jake Garcia leaving McAnally-Hilgemann Racing at season’s end

Jake Garcia will not return to the #35 McAnally-Hilgemann Racing entry in 2024, the rookie announced on Twitter/X on Monday afternoon.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my rookie season in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with everyone at McAnally-Hilgemann Racing and the support of our partners at Quanta Services and Adaptive One. We’ve had fast trucks, strong finishes, and have a lot of reasons to be proud of our effort. However, I will be pursuing a new opportunity in 2024 that I am excited to share in the near future. Until then, our No. 35 team is going to finish this season with 100% effort over the final two races and hope to get to victory lane.”

Garcia enters Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend 14th in the driver standings and has tallied two top-five and eight top-10s.
