Car No. 61 history

On May 15, 2018, it was announced that Kaz Grala was released by JGL Racing. [3] Three days later, it was announced that Grala would be driving in the next four races with Fury Race Cars, which is owned in part by his father Darius.[4] Sponsorship came from New England Tractor Trailer Training School, which had previously supported Grala at JGL.[5] JGL also provided Kaz Grala with three cars when it terminated his contract, and many crew members from JGL, including crew chief Shane Wilson, came over to Fury to help with the No. 61, which was chosen in honor of Richie Evans.[6] In the team's debut, they finished an impressive 10th. After that the week following Kaz finished 16th at Pocono then another week later at Michigan, Grala led his first ever laps for the team and finished 12th, Grala a week later would go onto finish 10th at Iowa Speedway in what many thought could be his last race of the season but then two weeks later it was announced ITCoalition.com would sponsor him as well as returning longtime K&N Series and Truck Series sponsor of Kaz Grala, Kiklos would hop on board for the Chicagoland race. In just the teams 6th race at Daytona, Grala would earn the teams 1st top 5 finish in their brief history. Grala and the team couldn’t find a sponsor to run at Kentucky, which meant he and the team were no longer eligible for the playoffs.
