Modified star Danny Bohn will make his NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series debut this Saturday in the NASCAR Hall of Fame 200 from Martinsville Speedway. Bohn will pilot the No. 30 Brantley Gilbert Toyota Tundra for On Point Motorsports.
Sponsorship in Bohn’s debut will come from the Big Machine Label Group which will promote Brantley Gilbert’s fifth album titled Fire and Brimstone.
“Big Machine Label Group and Brantley Gilbert are proud to support Danny Bohn in his first NASCAR series truck race! As a former NASCAR Weekly Truck Champion, I will take great pride in seeing the Big Machine & Brantley Gilbert sponsored No. 30 Toyota Tundra give ‘em hell at Martinsville,” said Scott Borchetta, Big Machine Label Group founder, president and CEO in a team press release.
Bohn rose to the top in 2012 when he earned runner-up in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Championship, Rookie of the Year and Most Popular Driver honors.
“I’ve got a lot of support behind me and I intend to make the most of my opportunity and prove that a modified racer like me deserves his shot”, said Bohn.
In the Southern Modified Series, the 31-year old has four wins, 27 Top-5s, 42 Top-10s and eight pole awards since 2012.
Bohn currently runs a part-time schedule on the Whelen Modified Tour having earned one Top-10 in the series which came at Langley Speedway in the City of Hampton 150 in May of 2017 when he finished in the eighth position.
Bohn’s success should come as no surprise as his father and grandfather are both legendary and successful modified racers from New Jersey as well.
The NASCAR Hall of Fame 200 from Martinsville Speedway will take place on Saturday October 26 at 1:30PM ET on FS1 and it can be heard on MRN Radio.
