The sanctioning body announced that Gallagher
completed the required Road to Recovery program.
GMS Racing announced that it would restore Gallagher to the No.
23 Chevrolet for the Xfinity Series race at Kentucky Speedway on
July 13. Chase Elliott will be behind the wheel of the No. 23
car this Friday for the Xfinity race at Daytona International
Speedway.
Gallagher, 28, earned his first career Xfinity win April 28 at
Talladega Superspeedway, then was suspended days later for
violating NASCAR's substance-abuse policy.
He tweeted Wednesday, "Time for the next chapter boys and girls.
Been a tough road, but it's through adversity that you learn
true strength. Can't thank the entire garage, the fans and
everyone at @GMSRacingLLC enough for their support through this.
See you guys at Kentucky #nowbacktoit"
GMS president Mike Beam said, "The whole GMS organization is
very proud of Spencer (Gallagher) for getting reinstated after
completing NASCAR's Road to Recovery program after the results
we received post-Talladega."
Gallagher has slipped from seventh to 14th place in the Xfinity
standings during his suspension, but he is not eligible to make
the playoffs due to the punishment.
He has a combined five top-five finishes in 49 Xfinity Series
starts and 59 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts.
