Billy Ballew Motorsports will make its 300th start in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competition at Talladega Superspeedway. The team will field trucks for Kyle Busch (No. 51 Miccosukee Resort-Graceway Pharmaceuticals Toyota) and Aric Almirola (No. 15 Graceway Pharmaceuticals Toyota) on Saturday.
The team is the fourth active team to reach the 300-start plateau, joining Roush Fenway Racing, Thorsport and Circle Bar Racing.
“It’s overwhelming,” Ballew said. “I’ve been fortunate to have success with that many drivers for this many years. This started as a dream—to have my own team—and over the years it has been become something pretty close to my heart. It is even more special that this 300th start is occurring in Talladega, which is close to my home base of Atlanta, Ga.”
In addition to Busch and Almirola, other drivers for Ballew’s team include Geoffrey and Barry Bodine, former motocross champion Rick Johnson, 1996 Indianapolis 500 winner Buddy Lazier, Rich Bickle, Bill Lester and Kelly Sutton. Mark Gibson finished 12th in the team’s debut at Bristol in 1996. The team has 15 wins, including 14 with Busch. Auto Racing Daily
