ThorSport Racing is proud to announce that Canadian standout Cole Butcher has signed full-time with the organization for the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season. Butcher will take over the seat of the No. 13 Ford F-150, marking a new chapter for both the driver and the championship-winning team.
The 2026 season will represent Butcher’s first full-time campaign in the world’s top-tier truck series. He will continue to build on an impressive resume that includes success across NASCAR Canada, Late Model competition, and select Truck Series starts. Known for his adaptability and steady progression at the national level, Butcher is ready to make an immediate impact with ThorSport Racing.
“I’m incredibly grateful to Duke, Rhonda, and Allison Thorson for giving me this opportunity in 2026,” said Butcher. “This team has a long history of success and championships, to be trusted with the No. 13 Ford F-150 full-time is something I don’t take lightly. I’m excited for what’s ahead and ready to get to work with this group.”
Partner announcements for the No. 13 Ford F-150 will be made at a later date.
Butcher will make his debut in the No. 13 Ford F-150 at Daytona International Speedway on Friday, February 13, with live coverage beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET on FS1. Fans can also listen live on the Motor Racing Network (MRN) and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Channel 90.
