Lupton will run seven races with the organization in the team’s No. 25 Chevrolet. John Wes Townley will run the majority of the series schedule in that car.
The 21-year-old California native has been a full-time competitor in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West for the past two seasons, winning two races during that time. Last year, Lupton was the runner-up in the series with top-10 finishes in all 14 series events.
Via his Twitter handle @LuptonDylan, the driver said that his initial race will be next month at Phoenix International Raceway.
This is a dream come true. I can’t think everyone enough for this opportunity! I’m anxious to get on the track in a month at @PhoenixRaceway
