A.J. Waller, the 21-year-old native of Floral City, Florida, will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut later this season at Martinsville Speedway on March 28.
Waller will get behind the wheel of the No. 22 Ford F-150 for Reaume Brothers Racing. Sponsorship details were not included in the Friday announcement by the multi-truck organization.

Over the last two seasons, Waller has made starts in the ASA Southern Super Series and UARA National Late Model Series, while also competing in local racetracks at Citrus County Speedway and Auburndale Speedway.
“I’ve fought for this moment both on and off the track, and I couldn’t be more grateful for this opportunity with Reaume Brothers Racing,” said Waller. “Martinsville is a track full of history, and I’m ready to make the most of this incredible opportunity.”
Waller was named Rookie of The Year in the Super Late Model division at Citrus County Speedway in 2023.
In April 2020, Waller was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma after spending 21 days in the hospital for a large growth that was visually noticeable on the side of his neck; one of his lungs had collapsed. After months of treatment, Waller was able to ring the bell just before Thanksgiving.
Waller will be teammates with ARCA Menards Series regular Cody Dennison and Hollywood actor Frankie Muniz as the three-driver lineup for Reaume Brothers Racing at Martinsville Speedway.
“We’re excited to welcome AJ to our team. His resilience, determination, and passion for racing are truly inspiring. To see him overcome so much and now have the opportunity to make his NASCAR Truck Series debut is nothing short of incredible. AJ embodies the heart of a racer, and we’re excited to see what he can do behind the wheel. This is just the beginning of an amazing journey.”
This won’t be Waller’s first time in a stock car, though, after running in the pre-season ARCA Menards Series practice at Daytona International Speedway for KLAS Motorsports.
Waller will make his series debut at Martinsville on March 28, with coverage of the event on FS1, NASCAR Racing Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
