“For a racer, there’s no place more special than Daytona,” Gresham said. “I plan to soak up the atmosphere there for as long as I can. I love racing over at Volusia Speedway Park, and I love being at Daytona.”
The Griffin native, who plans to run the entire truck series season, is not only looking for his first top-10 finish in his young Truck Series career, but he also hopes to make Eddie Sharp Racing (ESR) a winner for the first time at the World Center of Racing.
“When you start a new season, you bring over your best truck and everyone is energized,” the 19-year-old driver from Milner, Ga., said. “The same goes for our sponsor AmWINS. We’ve spent nearly three months getting ready for our biggest race, so we’re ready to get things rolling.”
The 2.5-mile speedway will open for practice on Thursday, with pole qualifying at 1:40 p.m., on Friday. The 100-lap race is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m., green flag on SPEED.
