After making his debut with CW Motorsports, and bringing it home 11th at Five Flags Speedway, Colton Collins is set to return behind the wheel this weekend at Flat Rock Speedway for the Dutch Boy 150 in the ARCA Menards Series East, however, he’s been keeping busy.
Collins was atop the pit box last weekend at Nashville Fairgrounds and helped driver and team owner Caleb Costner to a seventh-place finish. Now, he’s ready to take his chance back behind the wheel.
“I’m excited to build on the good run we had at Five Flags and continue to gain experience behind the wheel of these cars,” Collins said.
The 19-year-old grew up racing in Super Trucks around his hometown of Mannford, OK, now with a few ARCA Menards platform starts under his belt, he’s ready to grow and get better.
Collins also works with CW Motorsports during the week as part of the shop. When he’s not behind the wheel, he serves as the regular crew chief for Costner in the ARCA Menards Series East races. His dedication reaches farther than some, even having slept in the shop between races.
“Colton is one of the hungriest guys I’ve had the privilege of working with. His drive and commitment is what continues to build our team. His talent as a driver will continue to grow and I couldn’t be happier having him wheeling one of my cars” team owner Costner said on the young driver.
CW Motorsports is having a stellar season in the ARCA platform. With one crash at the season opener in Daytona, Costner has a worst finish of 25th and took home his first ARCA Menards Series main platform top-10 at Dover with a ninth-place finish.
East Series driver D.L. Wilson is also having a great season. The veteran earned his first career top-ten finish in the East at the season opener at Five Flags and then picked up his second with a 10th at Nashville.
You can catch Colton Collins returning to the CW Motorsports No. 93 machine live on FloRacing at 7:30 PM ET.
