STATESVILLE, N.C. — Report by Race Chaser Online Managing Editor Jacob Seelman — Jeff Curry/Getty Images for NASCAR photo —
GMS Racing revealed Monday morning, with the help of a clever technology-themed video on their official Facebook page, that current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regular Clint Bowyer will drive a fourth entry for the team during this weekend’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series stop at Kansas Speedway.
Georgia Boot, a longtime supporter of both Bowyer and his dirt late model team, will be the primary sponsor of the No. 24 Chevrolet Silverado.

The Toyota Tundra 250 will be Bowyer’s 14th career Truck Series start and first since 2014, when he drove for Athenian Motorsports at Pocono Raceway in lieu of regular driver John Wes Townley, who was sidelined as a health precaution following a hard crash in qualifying.
The Emporia, Kansas native and home state favorite is a three-time winner in the Trucks, including his most recent series victory in 2011 — when he won at Kansas driving for Kevin Harvick Incorporated. Bowyer qualified second and went on to lead 124 of 167 laps that afternoon en route to the win.
GMS Racing has already had success with their “all-star” fourth truck so far in 2016, after Kyle Larson debuted the entry carrying McDonald’s sponsorship at Martinsville in April, scoring a fourth place finish and leading 79 of 255 laps.
Opening practice for the Trucks at Kansas Speedway kicks off at 2:30 p.m. ET on Thursday.
