Toyota development driver Brent Crews is forming a NASCAR Truck Series team, called Brent Crews Motorsports.
The new race team will make its debut at Watkins Glen on August 8th, and Crews will be driving the No. 70 Toyota. Pristine Auction will serve as the primary sponsor. As the team gets off the ground, they will operate out of the Nitro Motorsports Trans-Am shop, located in Mooresville, North Carolina.
“I grew up going to dinner on race weekends with guys like Nick Tucker and Brian Keselowski listening to stories about building race cars and engines out of spare parts and barely getting to the track,” said Crews. “Even though everyone would tell them they were crazy, it always sounded like so much fun to me. When we started talking about me buying a truck to run Watkins Glen, no one was willing to tell me it was a bad idea and it just kind of snowballed from there. I sold all my micro sprints to raise some of the money and here we are.”
Crews currently competes part-time in the Truck Series already, making three starts this year with TRICON Garage. His most impressive run came at the Lime Rock road course, starting fifth and finishing eighth. He is also a proven winner in ARCA with four wins in just 12 starts. This year, Crews has done a handful of ARCA races with Joe Gibbs Racing, winning 50% of the races he has entered.
Crews has also enjoyed success in late models, but most impressively, he won the 2023 SCCA Trans-Am TA2 ProAm Series title where he holds the record as the youngest race winner and series champion in Trans-Am history.
