Mason Maggio, Floridian Motorsports Return to Truck Series at Atlanta
After narrowly missing the field for the season-opening Fresh from Florida 250 at Daytona International Speedway, Floridian Motorsports is returning to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Atlanta Motor Speedway, in search of the team’s first-ever start.
That goal should be easily obtainable for the start-up team, barring a last-minute influx of entries, as the preliminary entry list for Saturday’s NASCAR Truck Series Fr8 208 is only showing 33 trucks — three entries short of a full field.
After attempting to qualify the No. 21 Floridian Motorsports entry into the field at Daytona International Speedway, Mason Maggio is set to return for another go-around, driving the No. 21 Ford F-150.
