Dalton Sargeant, 19, gets full-time Truck Series ride

[January 13, 2018]    Dalton Sargeant is stepping up to full-time duty in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series this season, signing a deal Friday with GMS Racing to drive the No. 25 Chevrolet Silverado.

Sargeant is no stranger to the series, having raced six times in the trucks since 2015. But at 19, he will be one of the freshest faces.

"I'm really excited to be joining a championship-caliber team in GMS Racing for the 2018 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season," said Sargeant in a team statement. "[Team owner] Mike Beam and everyone at GMS Racing has put so much effort into this No. 25 team during the offseason and I can't thank them enough for this opportunity."

Veteran Doug Randolph will take on crew chief duties, but other specifics including sponsorship and potential teammates will be announced at a later date.
