SS Green Light Racing Thumbnail

The longtime crew chief for Brendan Gaughan in both the NCWTS and the NASCAR Nationwide Series joins the SS Green Light Racing team that has 270 consecutive starts in the truck series. Also joining the team, as truck chief is Joel Martino, who has worked together with Berry for the last two seasons.

Berry is a native of Homestead, FL and started his racing career on the short tracks in south Florida. “It’s funny because when Ross and I talked for the first time we found out that he started racing at the same track (Charlotte County Speedway in Punta Gorda) that I raced at when they first opened the place,” Berry said. “It’s ironic because right where their farm is I have family living all around that part of Florida. It’s kind of bizarre how this works out.”

“I was talking with Mark Smith, our motor builder the other day and he is excited about our deal,” Berry continued. “He said it was cool because he watched Ross last year and he’s very happy to see more young guys come up and get involved. He’s excited about what we are putting together here.”

“I’m excited to have Joe come with us too, he’s a real racer you know,” Berry said. “We’ve had those days that we show up at the shop at 3:00 in the morning together. We do what we need to do to get to the race.”

Berry also loves the enthusiasm of his new driver. “I am excited to see Ross’ interest in working on the trucks, you just don’t see that all the time anymore. He’s got that fire in him wanting to do this, it’s really cool,” the veteran crew chief added.

Team co-owner Dotter is pleased to have Berry on top of the pit box for the 2012 season, “I’ve known Bryan for a long time and we’ve been close to getting together in the past. I feel he will be a great with Ross; the two have really hit it off well in the shop. Bryan has worked a lot with Toyota in the past and that is a real positive for the team. Ken (Smith) and I feel fortunate to have both Bryan and Joel come on board.”

Sponsorship for Ross Chastain and the SS Green Light Racing No. 08 team will be released in the coming weeks before the season opener at Daytona. There are opportunities available at selected races for additional marketing partners for the NCWTS Rookie of the Year candidate.

The SS Green Light team also has seat’s available for funded drivers in it’s No. 07 truck for the 2012 NCWTS season. The No. 07 team is guaranteed starting spots for the first four NCWTS races including the season opener at the Daytona International Speedway on February 24th.

Max Gresham And His No. 9 Made In USA Brand Chevrolet Impala

Just over a year later, Gresham will be more involved at Daytona when he climbs behind the wheel of the No. 9 Made In USA Brand Chevrolet in the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 ARCA classic on Saturday, February 18.

“It’s been a year since we were there last year, but I’ve waited a lifetime for this opportunity,” said Gresham, who will be making his first-ever start on the giant 2.5-mile Daytona oval. “Ever since I started driving racecars, I’ve always dreamed about racing at Daytona. To be down there and racing at Speedweeks in front of everybody is going to be really exciting. Daytona International Speedway is the biggest stage in all of motorsports and to finally be racing there is something I have dreamed about for a long time.”

Gresham’s inaugural Daytona appearance in the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 will be his 13th career ARCA start. The 18-year-old Griffin, GA native left an immediate impression on the series in 2010 winning the pole at Salem (IN) Speedway in his first career ARCA start. In his third ARCA start later that season, Gresham took his family-owned stock car to victory lane winning the Tim Richmond Memorial at Mansfield (OH) Speedway.

Last year, Gresham wheeled a Venturini Motorsports entry to four top-10 finishes in just seven ARCA starts. Included in his 2011 ARCA highlights were pole positions at both Pocono (PA) Raceway and Kansas Speedway. His best finish was a second at Michigan International Speedway.

In all three cases, it was the first time Gresham had competed at those raceways.

Those positive, first-time out experiences in the ARCA Racing Series have Gresham confident he can post a top finish in his Daytona debut as well.

“I have a history of doing pretty well the first time I go to a racetrack,” stated Gresham. “I’m hoping that will be the case at Daytona. The biggest thing I may have to contend with will be tandem racing. If it’s going to be pack racing, then I think I will have some time to learn and adapt. But if it’s tandem-style racing, I’ll have to adapt right away because if you don’t you crash.”

The Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 ARCA Racing Series event will be the first of two events Gresham will compete in during Speedweeks at Daytona this year. Gresham will also pilot the No. 24 Made In USA Chevrolet in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series NextEra Energy Resources 250 on Friday, February 24.

Gresham will wheel a Joe Denette Motorsports prepared entry in both the ARCA and Truck Series Daytona events.

“I’m going to have two very strong vehicles thanks to Joe Denette Motorsports,” said Gresham. “They have given me every opportunity to run well at Daytona. As strong as our ARCA car is, I think our Truck will be even better. I’m really looking forward to getting to Daytona and racing the rest of the 2011 season with these guys.”

Caleb Holman

Holman and Henderson Motorsports have competed in the CARS Pro Cup Series full-time since 2007. Up until that point, Henderson Motorsports had been the longest running team in the Nationwide Series with team owner Charlie Henderson.

“The Truck Series is a great opportunity for us to get back into NASCAR. We are excited about it and think it’s a good fit for us,” said owner Charlie Henderson.

Holman, who is also an Abingdon native, has been with the Henderson’s since 2002 starting out as a rear tire changer with driver Jay Sauter behind the wheel.

“I had just graduated high school and had been working at Morgan McClure Motorsports through school, while also driving my Dad’s late model. Charlie needed a rear tire changer. I thought, ‘well maybe if I go work for him he might let me drive one of his racecars one day’ and here we are 10 years later. I am extremely thankful for all of the opportunities he’s given me. It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since I began working for him,” said Holman.

Throughout the winter months the Henderson’s and Holman have worked close with Mike Hillman Racing, purchasing their race trucks from them for this coming season.

“I’ve got to give a big thanks to Mike Hillman and all of his guys. When we bought these trucks we needed some guidance and they have been there every step of the way. We couldn’t have got all this together in this amount of time without their help and support along the way,” said Holman.

Henderson Motorsports plans to make their Camping World Truck Series debut with Holman at Martinsville Speedway in March.

“Martinsville cannot get here soon enough! I am just overjoyed and thankful for the opportunities I’ve been given. Charlie and Don Henderson have always believed in me and trusted me to represent them and their company and I can’t thank them enough,” said Holman.

The Kroger 250 at Martinsville Speedway is set to take place on March 31st, 2012.

Justin Lofton Inc.

The last time he raced his Class 1500 entry in December, he dominated the field after scoring the top qualifying spot and the TransWest Ford Henderson 250 event win. Lofton crossed the finish line with over a 13-minute lead over the rest of the competition.

Jorge Lameda will serve as the navigator during Lofton’s drive through the course, which is a 136-mile loop run three times, with additional miles at the beginning and end of the event.

In between his off-road racing ventures over the last two months, Lofton hosted the Second Annual Justin Lofton Charity Golf Tournament in his native California. All proceeds from the tournament and auction benefited the Boys and Girls Clubs of Imperial Valley. For the second straight year, Lofton, who hails from nearby Westmorland, raised over $40,000 for his hometown charity. Following the event, he headed east and spent some time with his Eddie Sharp Racing (ESR) No. 6 College Complete Chevrolet Silverado team in North Carolina, prepping for the 2012 NASCAR season. After adding a few local appearances to his schedule and participating in photo shoots, and other pre-season duties, he returned to the west coast to ready for this weekend’s off-road event.

The BlueWater Parker 425 is the first of six BITD off-road events Lofton has scheduled through the 2012 season in addition to the full NCWTS schedule. Following this weekend’s run, Lofton will shift his focus to his No. 6 College Complete Chevrolet Silverado for the season-opening NCWTS race at Daytona International Speedway on February 24th.

Lofton’s first run in his Class 1500 unlimited buggy will be on Thursday, February 2nd during time trials.
