In his segment on NASCAR Race Hub, Lester says that he’s been able to gather the support of some Atlanta-area Ford dealers, along with backing from Tommy’s Express Car Wash. However, the Oakland, Calirofnia-native says that his primary sponsor for the event – or the “hood sponsor” — has not officially commited to sponsoring Lester’s return to the NASCAR Truck Series.
Lester last participated in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2007 – 14 years ago — running 15 events for Billy Ballew in the No. 15 Chevrolet Silverado, recording a season-best eight-place finish at Kentucky, one of his seven career top-10 finishes.
At this time, no team has been announced for Lester’s return to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
