NASCAR outfit Team Reaume has confirmed that Jackson Macenko will make his Truck Series debut with the team later this month.
The 22-year-old Ohio native will be in the Team Reaume truck for the July 25 event at Indianapolis Raceway Park, titled the TSport 200.
The announcement comes fresh off the back of Macenko's first career 500 Sprint Car victory at Winchester Speedway on Sunday.
Currently, Macenko sits second in the drivers' standings in the 500 Sprint Car championship, 36 points adrift of Kody Swanson through the opening two rounds of the campaign.
