Road Course Return: In his sophomore season of Truck Series competition, Fogleman returns to the Daytona Road Course looking to improve on his 19th place run at the 14-turn, 3.61-mile road course in August 2020.
Fogleman started 15th and through strategy was able to stay on the lead lap and earn one of his 11 top-20 finishes during his rookie Truck Series season.
Daytona Race Recap: Last weekend in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season-opener at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, Fogleman who had to qualify on speed did so and raced towards a top-10 finish before being collected in a mid-race incident.
The damage forced an early retirement to the event and a disappointing 30th place finish.
Solid As A Rock: Solid Rock Carriers will continue a season-long partnership with Solid Rock Carriers as the primary marketing partner of his No. 12 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet for the BrakeBest Brake Pads 159.

Tate Fogleman Pre-Race Quotes:
On Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway Road Course: “I feel like I’m a little more confident returning to a road course this season. I learned a lot at the Daytona International Speedway Road Course last summer and I think I can apply what I learned this weekend.
“I know I still have a lot to learn when it comes to the fundamentals of road course racing, but I think we can have a solid weekend and get some momentum before heading to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks.”
On Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway: “I’m really proud of the Young’s Motorsports team. We knew we weren’t locked in, but a total 100 percent effort by the team paid off with making the race on our qualifying speed. Unfortunately, the race didn’t go as we planned, but that’s just how Daytona goes sometimes.
“We’ll pick up the pieces and move forward to the Road Course this weekend.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
