Stephen Mallozzi making Xfinity Series debut at Pocono for Joey Gase Motorsports

Stephen Mallozzi will attempt to make his Xfinity Series debut for Joey Gase Motorsports at Pocono Raceway, the team announced on Wednesday.

Mallozzi will compete in both the Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series events, as he will drive the No. 27 car for Reaume Brothers Racing on Friday.

“Four years ago, I thought I’d never step foot inside a racecar again,” Mallozzi said in a team release. “Now, I am making my Xfinity Series debut at my home track. It makes me emotional to think about sometimes. I can not express enough how grateful I am to everybody involved, especially Josh (Reaume) and Joey (Gase).”
