Darrell Waltrip, appearing Tuesday on the Daytona 500 Champions Chat Series delivered by UPS, confirmed the sale of his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team to concentrate on the NASCAR Nationwide Series in 2008.
Three-time Grand-Am Rolex Series champion Andy Lally will drive the No. 00 Aaron’s Dream Machine Toyota Tundra in the remaining three races of the 2007 season, beginning Friday at Texas Motor Speedway. TRG (The Racer’s Group sports car team) will announce the details of the purchase Thursday in Texas, in preparation for a full-time run for Lally in the truck next season.
“Yes we are selling the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team,” Waltrip said. “I think it’s the best series, week in and week out, but we decided it was time to move on and use the Busch Series for driver development, and not the truck team.”
