Austin Cindric will pilot the #19 Ford F-150 with primary sponsorship from Draw-Tite. The #19 had previously been driven by Daniel Hemric who failed to gain a victory last season but was able to qualify for the Chase. Hemric was eliminated following the Freds 250 powered by Coca-Cola. Hemric moves to Richard Childress Racing full time in 2017. Cindric will have veteran crew chief Doug Randolph. Randolph has been with Brad Keselwoski Racing since 2012 where he has gained 6 victories, 43 Top-5's, 72 Top-10's, and 6 poles. Randolph has experience in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. Doug Randolph is a good veteran to have on the pit box for his Rookie Season.
2016 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards Champion Chase Briscoe will pilot the #29 Ford F-150 with primary sponsorship coming from Cooper Standard. The #29 was driven by Tyler Reddick in 2016 where Reddick visited victory lane once at Las Vegas last season but the #29 failed to qualify for the Chase. Reddick moves to Chip Gannassi Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series where he will race a partial schedule with Kyle Larson and Justin Marks. Chase Briscoe moves up the ladder to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series after a dominating performance in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards last season that ultimately had Briscoe crowned as champion. Returning to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series to crew chief Briscoe will be Mike Hillman Jr.. Hillman was last seen in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2014 where he was with the late Turner Scott Motorsports. His last victory in the series came at Texas with Jeb Burton in 2013. Hillman has 20 career victories in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and has much experience with one of the best Truck Drivers of All-Time Todd Bodine. In 2016, Hillman was the crew chief for Brandon Jones in the NASCAR Xfinity Series where he helped Jones make the Inaugural NASCAR Xfinity Series Chase.
