2026 Fantasy Outlook
The young driver posted the best numbers of his truck series career in 2025. Garcia would rack up three pole positions, lead 62 laps and nab 10 Top-10 finishes last season. He would end up a respectable 10th-place in the final driver point standings. Garcia returns to the No. 98 ThorSport Racing team in the upcoming season. He'll once again team with Jeriod Prince at crew chief and look to build on the solid results they posted last year. Garcia is still looking for his first series win after 75 starts in this division of NASCAR. He'll likely get it in 2026. He was very close in a couple occasions last year and certainly Garcia looks very sharp on short tracks. One of those will yield a win to him in the upcoming campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Top-10 finish at Dover
Garcia brought his No. 98 Ford home ninth in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Ecosave 200 at Dover Motor Speedway.
ANALYSIS
It was Garcia's first Top-10 finish since Bristol. The No. 98 truck has struggled to find race speed at times this season, with Garcia's average finish of 16.0 marking a big fall-off from his average starting position of 8.1, but he was able to mostly maintain his position on Friday. The series now heads to Charlotte Motor Speedway, where Garcia has one Top-10 finish in three starts. It's also worth noting that in the most recent 1.5-mile race this season at Texas, Garcia was among the fastest trucks in practice and qualifying before a late crash ended his day.

2024
2023
Garcia had a bet of a letdown in his second full season in the truck series last year. The move to ThorSport Racing didn't go seamlessly and the young driver struggled to produce results. So, we've taken a bit of a reserved approach to his prospects for 2025. Garcia showed he has much more to offer in his 2023 campaign when he chalked up nine Top-10 finishes and a 13th-place points finish for former boss, Bill McAnally. He'll look to rediscover that success with another campaign at ThorSport. Garcia should have all the equipment and personnel to succeed in the upcoming season, but a lot of responsibility and pressure will be on him to perform.
