He carried out twenty-eighth in his lone strive on the Roval in 2019. Wright also made his Tenting World Truck Sequence début at Watkins Glen in August, but mechanical factors knocked him out early.
“I’m extremely pleased to be returning to the Roval with Sam Hunt Racing this year,” Rodgers acknowledged. “I had a astronomical bustle in 2019, qualifying within the pause ten and working there for many of the bolt, so self belief is high for the event. After our showing on the Indianapolis Facet road Route and having extra journey with SHR and their equipment, I if truth be told personal no doubt we are going to dawdle procedure at Charlotte.
“The Roval for sure suits my using model. Being that there is rarely this kind of thing as a discover or qualifying, it must mild give me an edge over one of the necessary necessary opponents.”
Wright, a Truck Sequence standard and frail begin-wheel and sports activities automobile driver, serves as SHR’s aspect road route ringer. His most interesting price is seventeenth at Watkins Glen.
