MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Sixteen-year-old racer Ben Maier will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut Saturday driving for Young’s Motorsports.
Maier will pilot the team’s flagship No. 02 Executive Chevrolet Silverado in what marks a pivotal moment in his rapidly advancing career.
The debut comes as Maier takes on one of the most technically demanding road courses in the country, offering a prime opportunity to showcase the skill, focus, and competitive drive that have defined his rise through the motorsports ranks.
Maier, a rising star in the motorsports world, has spent years honing his skills in various racing series like Stadium Super Trucks with Robby Gordon, Trans Am, Cars Tour and Travis Pastrana’s NitroCross and now, with the support of Young’s Motorsports, he is ready to take on the competition in the highly competitive Truck Series.
His youthful enthusiasm and passion for racing have already garnered attention and fans can expect an exhilarating performance as he takes to the track.
“I am so excited for this opportunity,” said Ben Maier. “When working with the limited resources our family has, a kid like me is not supposed to be able to make it to NASCAR.
“I’m so thankful for Tyler and Young’s Motorsports for taking this chance on me. I’ll give them my best effort. I also need to thank Executive Chevrolet for making it happen. I can’t wait to wheel the No. 02 Executive Chevrolet Silverado truck around Lime Rock Park!”
Young’s Motorsports extends its sincere gratitude to Executive Auto Group for serving as the primary sponsor of Maier’s NASCAR debut.
“We’re proud to support the next generation of racing excellence by sponsoring Ben Maier in this weekend’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Lime Rock Park,” offered Shaun Woodward, General Manager, Executive Chevrolet.
“Ben’s drive, talent, and determination embody everything we stand for at Executive Chevrolet: hard work, passion and pushing the limits. As a local dealership rooted in community and performance, we’re thrilled to be part of his journey and can’t wait to see him take the track.”
