Spire Motorsports has announced that rising star Tristan McKee will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut with the team at Richmond Raceway on August 14, eleven days after his 16th birthday. McKee is part of Spire's Ascent Driver Development Program.
Due to his age, McKee will only be able to compete at tracks that are 1.25 miles in length or smaller. Spire also revealed that his Richmond start won't be a one-off, with plans for McKee to compete at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (August 22), Bristol Motor Speedway (September 17), Phoenix Raceway (October 16) and Martinsville Speedway (October 30) this year.
