Truck No. 17 history
On January 22, 2018, it was announced that David Gilliland Racing and Crosley Sports Group would merge into one team and join the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series part-time. The team had purchased Red Horse Racing's assets. Chris Eggleston was announced as the driver beginning at Charlotte for a limited schedule. However, with the threat of rain before the Charlotte race, Eggleston moved to the primary 54 truck for the race and team co-owner Bo LeMastus shifted to the 17, which had no owner points. Qualifying was rained out, and LeMastus missed the race.[2]
