Cole Custer to drive a truck for Dale Earnhardt Jr.

JR Motorsports is expanding into the Camping World Truck Series. Cole Custer will drive a #10 Chevrolet owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr. this year. Custer, who is about to turn 17 years old, became the youngest winner of a NASCAR national series race when he won at New Hampshire in September driving the #00 Chevrolet, a development truck fielded by a division of Stewart-Haas Racing. JR Motorsports' truck entry will be part-time and Earnhardt will continue to focus on his three-car Xfinity Series team, which includes series champion Chase Elliott in the #9 Chevy Camaro. Earnhardt is also off his best Sprint Cup season in a decade, and his #88 Chevrolet has a new crew chief in Greg Ives (Elliott's crew chief in 2014) and new sponsor Nationwide insurance, the former title sponsor of the Xfinity Series. With all of this, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has plenty to look forward to in 2015.
