MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Kyle Busch Motorsports announced today that Matt Mills will get behind the wheel of the No. 51 Chevrolet Silverado for two NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races this season.
J.F. Electric, an electrical contractor, will be the primary sponsor adorning Mill’s Silverado for races at Richmond (Va.) Raceway on July 29 and The Milwaukee (Wis.) Mile Speedway on Aug. 27.
Mills will also carry associate sponsorship from Utilitra, a women-owned utility and technology solutions provider with a diverse team of specialized professionals and Thompson Electric, a full-service electrical contracting company, for his two-race schedule.
Mills has 19 career starts in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, including four this season. He registered a season-best 19th-place finish in the Truck Series’ most recent event at World Wide Technology (Ill.) Raceway. He produced a career-best starting position of fourth at Michigan International Speedway in 2018 and a career-best 15th-place finish at Las Vegas Motors Speedway in 2022.
In the NASCAR Xfinity Series, the Virginia native has made 121 career starts with a best result of 10th coming at Daytona (Fla.) Int’l Speedway in 2019. He also made one NASCAR Cup Series start at Kansas Speedway in 2021.
“I’m really excited that KBM is providing me with an opportunity to showcase my abilities driving two races in the No. 51 Silverado,” Mills said. “It makes it even more exciting that Richmond is the first race because I was born about an hour from there and I’ve had some strong runs there in the Xfinity Series, so I couldn’t think of a better track to make my KBM debut at. J.F. Electric has been a long-time supporter, and this wouldn’t be possible without them, Utilitra and Thompson Electric.”
“We’re excited to see Matt get behind the wheel of the No. 51 Silverado for two races and thankful to the sponsors that came onboard to make it possible,” said KBM President Mike Verlander. “Brian Pattie (crew chief) and everyone on that team will provide Matt with everything that he needs to get acclimated to our organization quickly and we feel like the tracks that he will be competing at are places where he can be successful.”
