RELATED: Entry list for Chicagoland
Kyle Larson will drive the No. 00 Haas Automation Chevrolet for JR Motorsports in Friday night's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series American Ethanol e15 225 at Chicagoland Speedway (8:30 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
For Larson, it will be his first Truck Series start of the year and first since last year's season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. In nine previous starts in the series, he has one win (at Rockingham in 2013), four top fives and two poles. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regular came up short on Saturday night in his bid to make the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup postseason field.
The Chicagoland race will mark the 11th race JR Motorsports has entered in its inaugural campaign in the Camping World Truck Series.
The No. 00 is primarily driven by Cole Custer, who has made seven starts in the Truck, with a win at Gateway Motorsports Park in June. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regulars Kasey Kahne, who won from the pole at Charlotte in May, Kevin Harvick and Alex Bowman have each piloted the Truck for one start this year.
The No. 00 is currently 19th in the Camping World Truck Series owner standings.
