Marco Andretti gets 2 more NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts
The 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season is down to its final two races and Marco Andretti will be racing in each one.
Andretti will pilot Spire Motorsports’ No. 7 Chevrolet at Homestead-Miami Speedway and Phoenix Raceway.
The two-time IndyCar winner picked up sponsorship from Kin Insurance at Homestead-Miami and Gainbridge at Phoenix.
Andretti made his first NCTS start at Mid-Ohio in July. He started seventh and finished 19th.
“I had a lot of fun driving at Mid-Ohio,” Andretti said. “The end result wasn’t reflective of the pace we had out of the gate but I learned a lot about how these trucks handle and what to expect. I want to expand my limited stock car experience and get some laps in on the bigger ovals. Homestead and Phoenix are going to be very different from the ovals I raced with the SRX Series. It’s obviously much different from Mid-Ohio, which is what I want.”
