STATESVILLE, N.C — McAnally-Hilgemann Racing announced the addition of the iconic No. 20 as a driver development entry to the MHR stable in select NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races for the 2026 season.
The fifth truck for MHR will be led by crew chief Ty Joiner atop the pit box alongside Dewey Townsend as lead engineer. The No. 20 entry will house multiple drivers this season and will make its NCTS debut at Watkins Glen International with Toni Breidinger behind the wheel.
The 26-year-old Calif., native will take the seat for Watkins Glen with Celsius riding alongside the No. 20 Chevrolet Silverado RST as the primary partner. Breidinger will also pilot the fifth entry for the Fall event at Phoenix Raceway.
The young driver has multiple years of experience across the ARCA Menards Series, NCTS, USAC and other national racing platforms.
“I am super excited to join the McAnally-Hilgemann Racing team for a few starts in the No. 20 this season” stated Breidinger. “I am super grateful to get the chance to add a few of my favorite tracks to my schedule this year and too have Celsius on board. Huge thanks to Bill (McAnally, team owner) and everyone over at MHR for allowing me to have this opportunity.”
Next up on the roster is current ARCA Menards Series West driver for Bill McAnally Racing, Mason Massey. Massey will pilot the No. 20 for multiple NCTS events this season starting with Richmond Raceway where he will make his debut with MHR late-summer in August.
Veteran Massey partner Mongoose Power Solutions will adorn the primary paint of the Chevrolet Silverado at Richmond. In just three AMWS starts, Massey has shown strength with a victory right off the chip at Kern Raceway. The Georgia native currently holds the runner-up spot in the ARCA West driver point standings.
“I am really looking forward to getting in one of Bill’s (McAnally, team owner) trucks later this year and just getting back to the truck series in generally” says Massey. “It is such a fun series to run, and I know it will help me improve my overall race craft just like the ARCA West runs have so far.”
The entirety of Massey’s NCTS schedule will be announced at a later date.
“We are excited to work with and help deserving drivers get some experience and development in the NCTS” states MHR team owner Bill McAnally. “The competition here with the variety of race tracks gives drivers a great opportunity to build skills and gain the experience needed to continue to climb the NASCAR ladder.”
