Red Horse Racing announced Wednesday that Matt Tifft would join the two-car team for select NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races.
The 19-year-old is set to get behind the wheel for races at Kansas Speedway, Dover International Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway and possibly more. Veteran crew chief Scott Zipadelli will join him.
“I’m looking forward to working with (teammate) Timothy (Peters) and (crew chief) Scott Zipadelli on our No. 11 Toyota Tundra team,” Tifft said in a team press release. “We’re going to some tracks I really enjoy and I’m confident we’re going to have some speed and we’ll go and try to get some really good runs.”
The announcement came after the organization revealed it was parting ways with Ben Kennedy.
The year is off to a busy start for Tifft, who is in the middle of a 13-race deal with Joe Gibbs Racing in the XFINITY Series. His first start of 2016 comes at this weekend’s ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond International Raceway, where he will wheel the No. 18 Toyota.
