Reeves Set to Make NCWTS Debut

By: Anita Goodan

(Martinville, VA) It doesn’t get much better than making a debut at your home track. That’s what Martinsville native Josh Reeves will be doing on Saturday, Oct. 31 in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS).

Reeves will drive the No. 74 Dodge at the famed Martinsville Speedway in the Kroger 200 on Halloween for Mike Harmon Racing. Reeves isn’t spooked about his first race in the truck series.

“We’ve got all of the parts and pieces and we’re ready to get started,” he said. “If we come out of the race with a 15th or 20th place finish, that’ll be a great start. We’re aiming for much higher than that, but we’ll be happy with what we can accomplish.”

Reeves, 22, has been busy with testing race cars this season. He participated in his first ARCA Series race in September of 2014 at Salem Speedway in Indiana. Reeves finished 23rd after suffering tire issues during the contest. He gathered the attention of others with his driving and a “never give up” attitude.

Mike Harmon Racing and Manager Danny Glad are working to finalize the details for Reeves’ debut in the 200-lap NCWTS race on the half-mile track known as “The Paperclip”.

The Kroger 200 will begin at 1 p.m. ET on Oct. 31. The event will be televised on Fox Sports 1 and MRN will have the radio broadcast.

Debut in ARCA Series a Great Start for Reeves

Josh Reeves brought home the No. 40 FRYESTRONG/Texas Sales Dodge in 23rd position Saturday night in his ARCA Series racing debut at Salem Speedway in Indiana.

Reeves reported a tight condition throughout much of the race. He started in the 21st spot and had worked his way up 15th when a left front tire caused trouble for the driver about halfway through the 200-lap race. Reeves was able to keep the car from sustaining any damage and the entry for the Carter 2 Motorsports team had a positive showing in the contest.

It was Tom Hessert with the win in the Federated Auto Parts Fall Classic 200 presented by JayC Food Stores.

“I learned a lot in the race and did better than I originally thought I would,” commented Reeves after the race. “I felt that I adapted quickly to the car and to the short track racing style. I made the most of the whole experience and can’t wait for the next time I can race. Thank you to all of my sponsors for this amazing opportunity.”

Reeves had the help of www.gofundme.com in collecting funds to run in the race with FRYESTRONG, Texas Sales, Meadows Decals, and those who donated.
