ThorSport Racing is an American professional stock car racing team competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.[1] Founded in 1996 as SealMaster Racing and based in Sandusky, Ohio, the team is owned by Duke Thorson and his wife, Rhonda. Currently, it fields five teams: the No. 13 for TBA, the No. 88 for Matt Crafton, the No. 98 for TBA, and the No. 99 for Ben Rhodes. ThorSport has claimed six Truck Series championships: three with Crafton (2013, 2014, 2019), two with Rhodes (2021, 2023), and one with Majeski.[2] Notably, it is the longest-running team in the Truck Series, with at least one truck in every season since 1996.

Car No. 13 history

[edit]

In 2008, ThorSport Racing made its Nationwide Series debut with Shelby Howard driving the No. 13 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in two races, starting at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park and Bristol. Howard finished 20th and 23rd in those events.

Truck No. 8 history

[edit]

In 1998, ThorSport Racing—then known as SealMaster Racing—fielded the No. 8 truck at Mesa Marin for Jerry Cook. Cook started 34th but retired early, finishing 32nd.

In 1999, the team again fielded the No. 8 truck, this time at Phoenix for Joe Ruttman.

Truck No. 13 history

[edit]
Johnny Sauter in the No. 13 at Dover International Speedway in 2019
Multiple Drivers (2004–2008)

In 2004, the No. 13 truck debuted with Tina Gordon as the driver, backed by sponsorships from Vassarette and Microtel. Gordon left the team after five races due to injuries sustained at Atlanta, and the truck was then driven by Lance Hooper and Paul White for several races. After a string of disappointing finishes, Jimmy Spencer took the wheel at Loudon, achieving an 18th-place finish. Jason Small and Andy Houston closed out the season.

In 2005, Tracy Hines drove the truck, securing a fifth-place finish at Richmond with sponsorship from David Zoriki Motorsports. Hines was released with two races remaining, and Chad Chaffin and Johnny Sauter completed the season in his place.

In 2006, Kerry Earnhardt drove the No. 13 truck, achieving his best finish of 11th place twice—once at Nashville and again at Las Vegas.

In 2007, Earnhardt was not retained for another season, and rookie Willie Allen was signed as his replacement. Allen achieved two top-ten finishes and won Rookie of the Year, but he was replaced at the end of the season by USAR Hooters Pro Cup driver Shelby Howard.

In 2008, Howard achieved two top-ten finishes driving the BobCat Company/FarmPaint.com Chevy but ended the season ranked seventeenth in points and was subsequently released.

Johnny Sauter (2009–2012)

In 2009, Johnny Sauter returned to ThorSport Racing as a full-time driver with sponsorship from Fun Sand. The team entered a partnership with Mike Curb, and Sauter secured the team's third win at Las Vegas, also achieving ThorSport's first-ever 1-2 finish, with teammate Matt Crafton finishing second. Sauter ended the season 6th in points. In 2010, Sauter earned his second win at Kansas after a late-race incident with Ron Hornaday and finished 3rd in points, behind Todd Bodine.

For 2011, the team gained sponsorship from Safe Auto Insurance. Sauter claimed victories at Martinsville and Homestead, finishing 2nd in points to Austin Dillon. Safe Auto left at the end of the season, and The Peanut Roaster took over as the primary sponsor in 2012. Although Sauter's season was marred by bad luck, he improved late in the year, sweeping both races at Texas and finishing 9th in points.

Part Time (2013)

In 2013, Todd Bodine became the driver for the season, securing an 11th-place finish at Daytona. Mattei Air Compressors was introduced as the truck's primary sponsor. However, the team struggled to secure additional sponsorship and had to part ways with Bodine after the seventh race. Brett Moffitt, Frank Kimmel, and Tracy Hines each drove a race for the team before it ultimately shut down. Kimmel returned to the No. 13 truck for the season-ending race at Homestead-Miami.[3]

Jeb Burton (2014)

In 2014, Jeb Burton was hired to drive the No. 13 truck on a race-by-race basis, contingent on sponsorship.[4] His ride was upgraded to a full-season deal when Estes Express Lines signed on as a sponsor. However, the sponsorship was not renewed for 2015, leading the team to release Burton. He later joined BK Racing in the Sprint Cup Series.[5]

Multiple drivers (2015–2018)

In 2015, Cameron Hayley took over the No. 13 ride, with Cabinets by Hayley signing on as the sponsor. Hayley returned in 2016 but had a challenging season, failing to make it to the Chase and finishing lower in the points standings than the previous year.[6]

In 2017, Hayley did not return and was replaced by Cody Coughlin. Coughlin finished 14th in points, leading to his release after the season.

In 2018, Coughlin was released and replaced by Myatt Snider. Snider went on to achieve three top-5 finishes and eight top-10s, earning a 9th-place finish in the points standings as a rookie.

Johnny Sauter (2019–2021)

Just days before the Truck Series season opener at Daytona, it was announced that Johnny Sauter would return to the team for the 2019 season.[7] However, Sauter's season was marked by controversy and setbacks. At Iowa, NASCAR parked him for intentionally wrecking Austin Hill under caution, resulting in a one-race suspension. Myatt Snider was named as Sauter’s replacement for the race at Gateway.

Later in the season, Sauter was eliminated from the playoffs at Las Vegas after finishing 29th due to an engine failure. The issue, which affected three other trucks, was attributed to severe detonation in Ilmor's NT1 engines caused by a combination of high engine loads and extreme weather conditions. Although Ilmor took responsibility for the failures, NASCAR denied ThorSport's request to reinstate Sauter and Grant Enfinger into the playoffs.

On February 21, 2020, the No. 13 team was docked 10 owner and driver points before the Las Vegas race after an illegal engine oil reservoir tank was discovered during pre-race inspection.[8] Despite this, Sauter finished 2nd to Kyle Busch. However, it was the team's best finish of the season. Sauter missed the Playoffs for the first time in his career and finished 13th in the final standings. In 2021, Sauter picked up his first top 5 finish in 20 races at the Fr8Auctions 200.

Part Time (2022)

The 13 would be reduced to only 4 races with Sauter in 2022 as Thorsport would open a brand new 4th team. Sauter would really impress, almost winning at Martinsville Speedway and getting another top 5 at Gateway.

Hailie Deegan (2023)

On December 15, 2022, Thorsport announced that Hailie Deegan will drive the No. 13 (which was renumbered from the No. 98) full time in 2023, the No. 98 team will move over to the No. 13 team.

Jake Garcia (2024–present)

[edit]

On November 15, 2023, it was announced that Jake Garcia will move to the No. 13 truck for the 2024 season, replacing Deegan, who is moving up to the Xfinity Series full-time.[9]

Truck No. 27 history

[edit]
Ben Rhodes (2017)

In 2017, it was announced that Ben Rhodes would move from the 41 to the 27 to run full-time with a full-season sponsor in Safelite AutoGlass. He held off Truck Series champion Christopher Bell to win his first race at Las Vegas and finished 5th in the point standings. For 2018, Rhodes moved back into the 41.

Part-time (2018–2019)

On July 16, 2018 Chase Briscoe joined forces with ThorSport Racing and won the 2018 Eldora Dirt Derby in his first race in a NASCAR truck since 2017.

For the 2019 NextEra Energy 250, Myatt Snider drove the No. 27 Ford F-150 at Daytona and Martinsville.

Chase Briscoe returned to the No. 27 for the 2019 Eldora Dirt Derby. After leading the majority of the race and winning the first two stages, a late crash lead to a seventh-place finish.

Truck No. 41 history

Ben Rhodes in the No. 41 at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2016

On December 15, 2015, Ben Rhodes joined the team in a new fourth truck with sponsorship from Alpha Energy Solutions, the truck being numbered 41.[10] He recorded two top-fives and five top-tens.[11] He had a shot to win at Kansas Speedway until he tangled with Johnny Sauter on the last lap, leading to a William Byron win.[12]

The 41 truck returned for 2018 with Rhodes as the driver, scoring a win at Kentucky Speedway in the summer.

Truck No. 66 history

[edit]
Part-time (2021)

In 2021, Ty Majeski was scheduled to drive at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Nashville Superspeedway in the No. 66 truck. Later, retired driver Paul Menard would return to the series by driving at Circuit of the Americas. Majeski would drive an additional race at Pocono Raceway. Paul Menard returned to compete at Watkins Glen.

Ty Majeski (2022)

It was announced that Ty Majeski would drive the No. 66 full time in the 2022. He made the playoffs by staying consistent with seven top-fives and ten top-10 finishes. During the playoffs, Majeski won at Bristol and Homestead to lock himself in the Championship 4.[15] Majeski finished 20th at Phoenix after a late spin, resulting in a fourth place finish in the standings.[16]

Part-time (2023–present)

With Ty Majeski moving to the No. 98 entry, the No. 66 was reduced to a part-time entry with Conner Jones at the wheel for nine races. Joey Logano dominated the Bristol dirt race by leading 138 of 150 laps before taking the checkered flag.[17] At the 2024 Baptist Health 200, Jones intentionally sent Matt Mills to the turn 3 wall; Mills was transported to the hospital following the crash. As a result of his actions, he was parked for two laps.[18] On October 30, NASCAR suspended Jones for the Martinsville race following the incident. Johnny Sauter was announced as the driver for Martinsville.[19]

Truck No. 88 history

[edit]
The No. 88 truck in 2018
Part-time (1996–1997)

The No. 88 truck was the first out of the ThorSport stable. Debuting in the 1996 season at the Milwaukee Mile, Terry Cook finished 12th in the race for the team, which was then known as Sealmaster Racing. He ran two additional races in the truck that season but did not finish better than 21st. Cook drove a limited schedule with the team in 1997 in the PBA Tour Chevy. Despite not finishing in the top-ten, Cook won his first career pole at Flemington Speedway, and finished 24th in the final standings.

Terry Cook (1999–2000)

The team received enough funding to compete full-time in 1998, and Cook won his first career race at Flemington, but only improved to a twentieth-place points finish. ThorSport began the 1999 season without primary sponsorship before Big Daddy's BBQ Sauce joined the operation late in the season, allowing Cook to finish 15th in points. In 2000, PickupTruck.com became the team's new sponsor, and Cook had a total of eight top-ten finishes but was replaced in the final event of the season by Matt Crafton, who finished ninth.

Matt Crafton (2001–2003)

Fast Master Driveway Sealer and XE Sighting System shared sponsorship duties for Crafton, who drove for the team full time in 2002, picking up eleven top-tens and finishing 12th in points in his rookie season. Despite Menards becoming a full-time sponsor in 2002, Crafton only had six top-tens and dropped to fifteenth in the standings, but he improved to eleventh the following year. For the 2003 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Buddy Rice was placed in the No. 88 truck, finishing 20th, while Crafton moved to the No. 98.

Tracy Hines (2004)

In 2004, rookie Tracy Hines became the team's new driver, and he posted three top-ten finishes and finished eighteenth in points.

Matt Crafton (2005–present)

Crafton returned to the 88 for 2005, winning his first career pole at New Hampshire International Speedway and finishing ninth in points, a team-best. He slipped to fourteenth in points in 2006 despite ten top-tens, and repeated his top-ten total in 2007, moving up to eighth in points. 2008 was the team's best year to that point, with Crafton scoring his first win at Charlotte and finishing fifth in points. Despite not winning the next year, the No. 88 team finished runner-up in points to Ron Hornaday Jr.

Crafton had another strong season in 2010, earning one pole at Texas Motor Speedway, 10 top-five, and 20 top-10 finishes, resulting in a season-ending rank of fourth.

2011 saw the second win of Crafton's career at Iowa Speedway, in addition to poles at Michigan International Speedway and Martinsville Speedway, where he broke the track qualifying record. However, four DNFs (Did Not Finish) due to engine failures, mechanical issues and accidents caused by other competitors led to only five top fives and 13 top 10s, ultimately relegating Crafton to eighth in the final standings. In 2012, he had a decent season, finishing 6th in points.

2013 was Crafton's best season in his career to date. He won his third career race at Kansas in April. After this win, Crafton picked up the points lead and held it for the rest of the season. He finished in the top ten in the first sixteen races of the season, and 19 overall, with a worst finish of 21st in the season finale at Homestead. He clinched his first Truck Series championship with his start in that race,[20] and was able to stay on the lead lap despite late crash damage to become the first driver to complete every lap of the season in the Truck Series.[21]

On March 30, 2014, Crafton scored his fourth career Truck win at Martinsville.[22] On June 6, he won on fuel strategy at Texas Motor Speedway to win two races in a season for the first time in his career. It was also the first time he led more than 100 laps in a race. Despite crashing out at Dover and Gateway, his first DNFs in over two years, and dropping to 17 top tens, Crafton would ultimately go on to become the first back-to-back champion in the Truck Series.

Crafton would score his sixth career victory on February 28, 2015, in the Hyundai Construction Equipment 200, the revived Atlanta race. In May, he played fuel strategy to the win at Kansas, winning a second race at one track for the first time in his career. This also marked the first repeat win by any driver in the Truck Series at Kansas. In June, Crafton won at Texas to defend his victory from the previous season, another career first. In July, he picked up his fourth win of the season at Kentucky after the race was cut short due to Ben Kennedy's crash into the catch fence. He scored two additional wins at Martinsville and the season finale at Homestead but finished third in the points due to a few crashes.

Crafton went on to conclude 2016 & 2017 with runner-up and fourth-place showings in the final point standings respectively under the new "Playoffs" system.

Crafton finished 6th in the 2018 standings despite being winless for the first time since 2012.

Despite also concluding 2019 without winning a race, Crafton made his third-ever Championship 4 appearance and beat out Ross Chastain by two spots to claim his third career Truck Series Championship.

On February 21, 2020, the No. 88 team was docked 10 owner and driver points before the Las Vegas race after an illegal engine oil reservoir tank was discovered during pre-race inspection.[8] That season, Crafton broke his winless streak by winning at Kansas and had runner-up finishes at Dover and Richmond, placing him fifth in the final point standings.

In 2021, Crafton did not win a race. Despite this, he made the Championship 4, finished 12th at Phoenix, and fourth in the final standings.

Crafton did not make the playoffs easily in 2022, as he had to hold off Derek Kraus for the final spot, which he succeeded at doing. He was eliminated at Kansas and finished ninth in the final standings.

Crafton once again made the playoffs in 2023 without winning a race, but was eliminated again at Kansas. Following the Talladega fall race, Crafton attacked Nick Sanchez in the garage area as a result of an on-track incident when both of their trucks made contact with each other, triggering a multi-truck pileup.[23] NASCAR fined Crafton $25,000 and Sanchez $5,000 for the fight.[24]

Truck No. 98 history

[edit]
Christian Eckes in the No. 98 at Sonoma Raceway in 2022
Part-time (2002–2003, 2009–2012)

ThorSport first fielded the 98 truck at the 2002 Chevy Silverado 150 for Cory Kruseman with Agromin sponsoring. He finished 31st after suffering engine failure. The next race came a year later at the season-ending Ford 200 with Crafton driving, with sponsorship from Enzyme Magic as a sister truck to the 88 that he normally drove, finishing fifteenth. The 98 did not appear for six years until the 2009 Heluva Good! 200 at New Hampshire with Michael McDowell driving. He finished fourteenth in the Perkins Police truck. It ran another race later in the season at Texas with David Gilliland, but finished 35th after suffering rear-end problems early into the race.

In 2010, the 98 ran at Daytona with Landon Cassill and EasytoInstall.com, but wrecked early in the race. The 98 returned in 2011 with Penske development driver Dakoda Armstrong behind the wheel with sponsorship from Ferrellgas and Argisure for 7 races. Armstrong later joined ThorSport for the 2012 season to make a run at Rookie of the Year. However, the team's EverFi sponsorship would only last for the first 14 races, forcing the team to release Armstrong before the fall race at Iowa and shut the team down.

Johnny Sauter (2013–2015)

The 98 returned for 2013 with Johnny Sauter swapping numbers. The team took back-to-back wins at Daytona and Martinsville but suffered a setback when crew chief Joe Shear Jr. was handed a suspension from NASCAR due to a fuel cell issue. Despite Shear's return at Iowa, he would later resign from ThorSport after the Eldora race, citing disagreements over the team being based in Ohio rather than North Carolina. Sauter would nonetheless win his third race of 2013 at Talladega, sweeping the restrictor plate events in the Truck Series. He would finish fourth in final points. Sauter returned to the 98 in 2014. He dropped to just one win, at Michigan, but was a championship contender throughout much of the season before fading back to equal his fourth-place points finish from 2013. Sauter ran the Truck again in 2015, but announced late in the season that he would be leaving for GMS Racing in 2016.

Rico Abreu (2016)

Rico Abreu would replace Sauter in the 2016 season. Abreu posted 2 Top 5s and 5 Top 10s and finished 13th in points.[52]

Grant Enfinger (2017–2020)

Abreu lost his ride after the 2016 season due to a lack of sponsorship.[53] He would be replaced by Grant Enfinger for 2017.[54] Enfinger missed the playoffs and finished 11th in points. 2018 saw a more successful year for Enfinger, as he made the playoffs with his strength throughout the regular season and won the fall Las Vegas race, advancing to the Round of 6. He missed the Championship 4 but finished 5th in points.

On February 21, 2020, the No. 98 team was docked 10 owner and driver points before the Las Vegas race after an illegal engine oil reservoir tank was discovered during pre-race inspection.[8] On September 10, Enfinger won at Richmond Raceway and teammates Ben Rhodes and Matt Crafton completed the top three finishers; it was the first 1-2-3 finish in the history of the NASCAR Trucks Series[55]

Grant Enfinger and Christian Eckes (2021)

In 2021, it was announced Enfinger and Christian Eckes would split the schedule in the #98, with Enfinger driving the races he did not have scheduled in the 98 for CR7 Motorsports. Eckes won at the Las Vegas night race.

Christian Eckes (2022)

Eckes would drive the truck full-time in 2022. In 2022, Eckes would run up front at numerous races and made the playoffs despite not having a win. At the Round of 8 cutoff in Homestead-Miami, Eckes would miss making the Championship 4 by 7 points to teammate Ben Rhodes. Eckes left the team following the 2022 season to drive for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing. The No. 98 team was renumbered to the No. 13 for 2023.

Ty Majeski (2023–present)

Thorsport Racing during the off-season quietly swapped numbers for Ty Majeski's team from the No. 66 to the No. 98, as to keep number patterns with the team (13, 88, 98, 99). Majeski started the 2023 season with a sixth place finish at Daytona. He stayed consistent with seven top-fives and 11 top-10 finishes, allowing him to qualify for the playoffs. Majeski won the first round of the playoffs at Indianapolis.[56] On August 29, NASCAR suspended crew chief Joe Shear Jr. for four races and fined him US$25,000 after the truck was discovered to have an illegal right rear wheel and tire during the inspection prior to the Milwaukee race. In addition, the No. 98 team was docked 75 owner and driver points and 5 playoff points.[57] Majeski made it all the way to the Round of 8 before he was eliminated at Homestead.[58]

Majeski started the 2024 season with a 15th place finish at Daytona. Throughout the regular season, he won at Indianapolis and Richmond.[59][60] Despite not winning during the playoffs, he stayed consistent enough to make the Championship 4.[61] Majeski scored his third win at Phoenix; as the highest-finishing Championship 4 driver in the race, he clinched his first Truck Series championship.[62]

Truck No. 98 history

[edit]
Christian Eckes in the No. 98 at Sonoma Raceway in 2022
Part-time (2002–2003, 2009–2012)

ThorSport first fielded the 98 truck at the 2002 Chevy Silverado 150 for Cory Kruseman with Agromin sponsoring. He finished 31st after suffering engine failure. The next race came a year later at the season-ending Ford 200 with Crafton driving, with sponsorship from Enzyme Magic as a sister truck to the 88 that he normally drove, finishing fifteenth. The 98 did not appear for six years until the 2009 Heluva Good! 200 at New Hampshire with Michael McDowell driving. He finished fourteenth in the Perkins Police truck. It ran another race later in the season at Texas with David Gilliland, but finished 35th after suffering rear-end problems early into the race.

In 2010, the 98 ran at Daytona with Landon Cassill and EasytoInstall.com, but wrecked early in the race. The 98 returned in 2011 with Penske development driver Dakoda Armstrong behind the wheel with sponsorship from Ferrellgas and Argisure for 7 races. Armstrong later joined ThorSport for the 2012 season to make a run at Rookie of the Year. However, the team's EverFi sponsorship would only last for the first 14 races, forcing the team to release Armstrong before the fall race at Iowa and shut the team down.

Johnny Sauter (2013–2015)

The 98 returned for 2013 with Johnny Sauter swapping numbers. The team took back-to-back wins at Daytona and Martinsville but suffered a setback when crew chief Joe Shear Jr. was handed a suspension from NASCAR due to a fuel cell issue. Despite Shear's return at Iowa, he would later resign from ThorSport after the Eldora race, citing disagreements over the team being based in Ohio rather than North Carolina. Sauter would nonetheless win his third race of 2013 at Talladega, sweeping the restrictor plate events in the Truck Series. He would finish fourth in final points. Sauter returned to the 98 in 2014. He dropped to just one win, at Michigan, but was a championship contender throughout much of the season before fading back to equal his fourth-place points finish from 2013. Sauter ran the Truck again in 2015, but announced late in the season that he would be leaving for GMS Racing in 2016.

Rico Abreu (2016)

Rico Abreu would replace Sauter in the 2016 season. Abreu posted 2 Top 5s and 5 Top 10s and finished 13th in points.[63]

Grant Enfinger (2017–2020)

Abreu lost his ride after the 2016 season due to a lack of sponsorship.[64] He would be replaced by Grant Enfinger for 2017.[65] Enfinger missed the playoffs and finished 11th in points. 2018 saw a more successful year for Enfinger, as he made the playoffs with his strength throughout the regular season and won the fall Las Vegas race, advancing to the Round of 6. He missed the Championship 4 but finished 5th in points.

On February 21, 2020, the No. 98 team was docked 10 owner and driver points before the Las Vegas race after an illegal engine oil reservoir tank was discovered during pre-race inspection.[8] On September 10, Enfinger won at Richmond Raceway and teammates Ben Rhodes and Matt Crafton completed the top three finishers; it was the first 1-2-3 finish in the history of the NASCAR Trucks Series[66]

Grant Enfinger and Christian Eckes (2021)

In 2021, it was announced Enfinger and Christian Eckes would split the schedule in the #98, with Enfinger driving the races he did not have scheduled in the 98 for CR7 Motorsports. Eckes won at the Las Vegas night race.

Christian Eckes (2022)

Eckes would drive the truck full-time in 2022. In 2022, Eckes would run up front at numerous races and made the playoffs despite not having a win. At the Round of 8 cutoff in Homestead-Miami, Eckes would miss making the Championship 4 by 7 points to teammate Ben Rhodes. Eckes left the team following the 2022 season to drive for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing. The No. 98 team was renumbered to the No. 13 for 2023.

Ty Majeski (2023–present)

Thorsport Racing during the off-season quietly swapped numbers for Ty Majeski's team from the No. 66 to the No. 98, as to keep number patterns with the team (13, 88, 98, 99). Majeski started the 2023 season with a sixth place finish at Daytona. He stayed consistent with seven top-fives and 11 top-10 finishes, allowing him to qualify for the playoffs. Majeski won the first round of the playoffs at Indianapolis.[67] On August 29, NASCAR suspended crew chief Joe Shear Jr. for four races and fined him US$25,000 after the truck was discovered to have an illegal right rear wheel and tire during the inspection prior to the Milwaukee race. In addition, the No. 98 team was docked 75 owner and driver points and 5 playoff points.[68] Majeski made it all the way to the Round of 8 before he was eliminated at Homestead.[69]

Majeski started the 2024 season with a 15th place finish at Daytona. Throughout the regular season, he won at Indianapolis and Richmond.[70][71] Despite not winning during the playoffs, he stayed consistent enough to make the Championship 4.[72] Majeski scored his third win at Phoenix; as the highest-finishing Championship 4 driver in the race, he clinched his first Truck Series championship.[73]
