Johnny Sauter will be joining GMS Racing for 2016 with thoughts of Grant Enfinger beinging his teammate along side of Spenser Gallagher.

Townley expected to compete for Truck title in 2016 while still running only a handful of XFinity races

I was just about to do that. There is nothing on Dylan Lupton though.

lol

Ross Kenseth is turning his attention to the Trucks for 2016 as he will be testing a truck and trying to ride a truck at Martinsville

Here are my predictions for next season in the trucks and I want to here some of your guy's feedback

Tyler Reddick and Austin Theriault will run full time for Brad
Cameron Haley will stay with Throsport with the addition of Jesse Little
Cody Coughlin will run the #4, and Chris Bell will run the #54
Ross Kenseth will run the #18 Hattori Racing Enterprises truck that will be partnered with KBM and JGR
Matt Tifft will run with Venturini for a full time schedule with help from his college
Gray Gaulding will run full time with NTS Motorsports with Daniel Hemric
Red Horse Racing will keep Ben Kennedy and sign Dalton Sargeant
GMS Racing signed Johnny Sauter and will bring in ARCA Champion Grant Enfinger
Austin Hill will run full time with Empire Racing
Lira Motorsports will move up from the ARCA Series and have Kyle Weatherman run full time
Mason Mingus will run full time with Chad Boat with Billy Boat Motorsports
Other teams will be whatever


Possible ROTY Contenders
Austin Theriault
Jesse Little
Cody Coughlin
Chris Bell
Ross Kenseth
Matt Tifft
Gray Gaulding
Dalton Sargaent
Grant Enfinger
Austin Hill
Kyle Weatherman

AM Racing is looking to start a campaign so they can be able to race full time in 2016. No words on drivers or sponsors yet but the owner is Tim Self. If he is related to Michael Self or Austin Wayne Self, we can be seeing either one of them in the car.

KBM is looking to get 3 young guys in the cars and that seems to be the case. Christopher Bell seems that he will be taking over Erik Jones's ride in the #4. K&N Pro Series East Champion William Byron most likely going to take over the #54 car since he is planning to run full time for ROTY. Cody Coughlin is a Joe Gibbs Racing Development Driver and could be taking over for Kyle Busch's Full Time ride in the #51. We could see a 4th car for Kyle Busch but that does not seem like the case.

Update on KBM- Daniel Suerez and Cody Coughlin will be sharing a ride together. This means Cody can partner with venturini to get the remaining races.
Chris Bell will be sponsored by JBL next season

Tyler Reddick moves to the #29 truck full time
Daniel Hemric leaves NTS and joins BKR to run the #19 full time

Just saw that and that is huge for BK Racing. Two young talents to run on the team. They are definitely a threat now.

KBM Plans to continue to run a 3 full-time truck team. The numbers haven't been confirmed, but drivers have.
Christopher Bell and William Byron will each get their own truck and run full time.
Daniel Suarez and Cody Coughlin will be sharing a truck as Jake said earlier.

Trucks are thinking about a playoff chase format. Here are the only differences:
8 Drivers make it with a win or points
2 drivers will be eliminated each round
3 race rounds in 7 races
4 drivers race for the trophy at Homestead

i hope they dont its nice to see theirs be different especially since their's are always so close in the end

If they do happen to go through with it. The Truck Series would become more popular than cup. Mostly because Cup isn't as exciting as Trucks is in the first place. Adding a chase would just make it boom.

Wow..

Ross Kenseth will return to the Truck series for 2016 with the #18 Hattori Racing Enterprises team.
Jesse Little hopes to continue his Truck efforts for next season but hopes to run a full time schedule with the Alliance team with Thorosport called Team Little Racing

Cameron Haley is unsure of his plans for 2016 as Thorosport has not announced their plans for 2016 yet. With Johnny Sauter leaving the #98 Truck for Thorosport to GMS Racing leaves a truck open so it should secure a spot for Haley on the team.

Charts have been updated

GMS Racing- Chevy
21 Johnny Sauter
23- Spencer Gallagher- Allegiant Travel
33- Grant Enfinger

Confirmed. Sponsors/schemes haven't.

Thanks!!!

Np I'm a fan of GMS so I keep checking.

Austin Wayne Self will be racing full time in the #22 AM Racing Truck for 2016

Ben Rhodes to ThorSport (credit FOXSports)

also apparently the number will be 41? not sure if it was for both K&N and Trucks or just for K&N
He will be in the #41 with Alpha Energy Solutions onboard

Charts updated with a little bit more color
