Jake Garcia is staying with ThorSport Racing for the 2026 NASCAR Truck Series season; however, it won’t be in the No. 13 truck. Garcia will drive the No. 98 truck for ThorSport Racing during the 2026 Truck Series campaign, the team announced<\/a>. Meanwhile, Cole Butcher will drive the No. 13 truck<\/a> full-time instead.<\/p>\n The 20-year-old driver made the 2025 NASCAR playoffs but was eliminated in the Round of 10. It was a successful season for Garcia, but the No. 13 team never made it to victory lane. Now, Garcia joins the No. 98 team, which also didn’t win a race with Ty Majeski in 2025.<\/p>\n Majeski is replacing Matt Crafton in the No. 88 Menards truck<\/a>, so it left the No. 98 truck with an opening. Instead of giving the No. 98 to a new driver, ThorSport Racing put Garcia in the entry. Garcia hopes that it can bring some more success, as he looks for his first career Truck Series victory.<\/p>\n More: Luke Baldwin joins Team Reaume for 2026 NASCAR Truck Series season<\/a>Need a news break?
