MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Kris Wright will return to Young’s Motorsports for the full NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season.
The 28-year-old will pilot the No. 02 Chevrolet Silverado RST for a second season. He made 16 starts with the organization during the 2021 Truck Series season.
“Everyone at Young’s Motorsports is thrilled to welcome Kris back to the team for the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season,” Tyler Young, team principal at Young’s Motorsports, said. “His contagious energy and positive attitude have certainly been missed.
“Without a doubt, the additional experience he has gained on the track over the past two seasons will certainly be an asset to our program as we look toward a competitive season. With hard work and perseverance, I know this can be a stellar season for Kris representing our flagship number and team in the Truck Series. Daytona is right around the corner!”
Wright enters his fourth season in NASCAR’s three top-tier series. He made his NASCAR debut in 2020 at the Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway Road Course in the Truck Series. He has collected 34 starts in the Truck Series, and 16 in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
In 2022, Wright competed in 17 Truck Series events, and nine Xfinity Series races.
“I am really excited to get back in the No. 02 Chevrolet Silverado RST for the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series,” Wright said. “Young’s Motorsports has supported me throughout my NASCAR career. I am excited to have their support once again, under the Young’s Motorsports banner. Let’s get the 2023 season underway.”
