Chad Walter shifts to the No. 24 Silverado to crew chief for Lessard in 2021. Walter has five wins in 208 NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at crew chief and led Tyler Ankrum’s team to a playoff berth in 2020 in his first season as a Camping World Trucks crew chief.

Quote:“I’m excited to get to work with a new team with GMS and Chevrolet. I’m ready to go. There’s going to be an adaptation with my new crew chief and my new spotter. We’re just going to have to get used to working with each other and see what we all like. I feel like they want to win and I do too. There’s a little bit of confidence from my win at Talladega, but I still have a lot to learn. Daytona will be my third start on a superspeedway.”

TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
