Cole Butcher

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
