Johnny Sauter will replace Jones in the No. 66 at Martinsville, returning to his former longtime team for a one-off. Coincidentally, Sauter was also suspended for a race in 2019 while racing for ThorSport, after deliberately wrecking Austin Hill under caution at Iowa Speedway.
Sauter was originally slated to make his third start of the season (fourth overall) with Hattori Racing Enterprises at Martinsville. Now, with Sauter jumping to the No. 66, HRE has called upon Landen Lewis to drive the No. 16. Lewis has only made two Truck Series starts, both with Roper Racing in 2023.
