NASCAR: Top Five Teams Who Should Join the Truck Series
By Alex Herbst
Venturini Motorsports
One of the oldest teams in the ARCA Racing Series has also dipped its toes in the Camping World Truck Series. Venturini Motorsports may not be fielding a driver in the running for the 2017 ARCA Racing Series championship, but they are one of the greatest development driver machines for Toyota Racing Development.

The Xfinity Series uses the tagline “Names are made here”, but perhaps that is more apt for Venturini Motorsports. Great Cup Series drivers like Kyle Busch, Joey Logano and Daniel Suarez all got their starts in racing with Venturini, and rising stars like Spencer Davis, Christopher Bell and Matt Tifft are following in their footsteps. There’s one problem, however. Will there be enough seats for these names to continue to move up?
Kyle Busch Motorsports has a full slate of up and comers, with four Trucks competing this season, some shared by multiple drivers. That leaves little room for young drivers like Natalie Decker, Spencer Davis, Christian Eckes, and others to move up. While Venturini Motorsports only pursued a Truck Series team briefly in 2014 and 2015, the team may want to consider a step up to provide another outlet for their growing list of talented men and women.
