I wonder if they'll revamp the championship format since he won the 2019 Championship without winning a single race.

 

[StandOnIt]

We should be finding out about rule changes for all of the series if there are any pretty soon.

With a team like ThorSport and Menards behind him, I see no reason why Matt would move at this point.

Nothing wrong with it, he's earned the right and good for him. He's a great measuring stick against the new kids coming in.

Tanner Gray is staying with DGR, I thought he was a TRD driver in NHRA?

It's crazy to think that Crafton has 3 championships and only 14 wins.

Consistency, get what you can with what you got.

Well, the Trucks do have the shortest season, and until recently Cup drivers poached a lot of wins.

Still, I'm with @Team Penske. Consistency will get you a long way in this sport, and I applaud rewarding it.

No changes for Thorsport

Good. They’ve got 4 good drivers and two former champions.

 

[kkfan91]

I definitely think Enfinger will challenge again hes a good driver

[kkfan91]

So the rumors are true. I wonder how this will work with the Outlaws schedule since I was seeing a 3 way battle with him Sweet and Schatz for the championship there.

This was unexpected.

Holy cow. This is good for the truck series to have another competitive truck.

will be an Alliance with DGR-crosley so it should have some pep behind it

Good news. I figured Gilliland would be back. # 38 Ford

With HRE support to boot wow! Lets see how McAnally deals with a bit more competition as well.

It doesn't say how many or which races she's scheduled to be in. It could be a work in progress.

NEMCO has picked up two sponsors Moonpie and Orajel:

Moonpie was an associate sponsor for the team, maybe they will sponsor a few races?

If "for the 2020 season" means for the whole season, this is great news.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Outstanding! I hope this means Joe will be able to run up front at least part of the time.

That means almost every full-time driver is gonna make the playoffs.

Its not bad.

Between ThorSport and GMS that is about eight trucks.

Niece has one, DGR-Crosley has two (FRR included), Halmar-Friesen, Hattori, McAnally will be competitive, NEMCO (If they get a full-time driver), and KBM with about three competitive trucks.

About 17 trucks will be gunning for 10 slots, that's not bad with the new entry teams included. Gives more of an opportunity for the new teams to get into the door.

Eh more publicity for more teams.. maybe. It's like the other two series, guys that squeak into the last couple of spots usually don't get out of the first round, and sometimes it gets interesting when one of them does bat above their average.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

No opinion. The number of participants isn't my objection.

Love seeing all of this good news regarding potentially competitive entries into the Truck Series. Here for the last few years, it looked like the bottom was waiting to fall out, with few drivers outside of the playoffs running a full-time schedule. Even so, it's been an entertaining series, and more competitive trucks and drivers can only serve to make it even better!

Tate Fogleman will replace Dippel in the 02. Dippel will compete in dirt track racing this year.
