2026 Fantasy Outlook
The Canadian was named to the ThorSport Racing No. 13 Ford in mid-January. Butcher is tabbed for the full-season with this capable race team. At 29-years-old, he's a bit older than your typical Craftsman Truck Series rookie. However, all his experience is in lower racing divisions and Butcher only has two starts of truck series experience to fall back on. He earned a pair of 23rd-place finishes in the No. 62 truck last year at Bristol and Phoenix. We don't have any details on sponsorship or crew chief, so a lot of unknowns surround this situation. It would seem Butcher has a lot of learning and growth on tap and this team will help to smooth out the bumps of learning on the job. Read Past Outlooks
Full Schedule with ThorSport
ThorSport Racing is proud to announce that Canadian standout Butcher will pilot the No. 13 Ford F-150 full-time with ThorSport Racing for the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season. This will mark a new chapter for both the driver and the championship-winning team.
ANALYSIS
The young driver has made a lot of waves in stock car racing and those smaller, regional racing divisions. Butcher is now ready to make the step up to full-time competition in the Craftsman Truck Series for the first time. ThorSport will put him in their No. 13 Ford and look to win Rookie of the Year honors. "I'm incredibly grateful to Duke, Rhonda, and Allison Thorson for giving me this opportunity in 2026," said Butcher. "This team has a long history of success and championships, to be trusted with the No. 13 Ford F-150 full-time is something I don't take lightly. I'm excited for what's ahead and ready to get to work with this group."
