Chase Elliott will return to the race track this weekend at Martinsville Speedway after a six-race absence due to a broken leg and subsequent surgery to repair the broken leg after a snowboarding accident in Colorado.

As Elliott is set to return at one of the most physically demanding tracks on the schedule — Martinsville Speedway — he will have a little insurance in his pit box, as Josh Berry will be on standby in case Elliott needs relief during the 400-lap event on Sunday.

Stephen Mallozzi Elated to be Running for AM Racing at Martinsville; Physically Prepared for the Event

Stephen Mallozzi was originally slated to pilot the No. 34 Reaume Brothers Racing entry this weekend at Martinsville as he attempted to make his second-career NASCAR Truck Series start, but after the No. 34 truck missed the field at Bristol Dirt, it put the truck in a very uncomfortable spot points-wise and with weather on the horizon this weekend that wasn’t good.

In stepped Josh Reaume, who was set to run the No. 22 AM Racing entry. Reaume opted to swap seats with Mallozzi, a longtime Reaume Brothers Racing team member, to give the 22-year-old racer the best shot possible to make the field for the race.

“Josh said, ‘Listen man. I know you don’t do this often, but if you miss a race and we have to pay for an attempt and you don’t get to drive at all, that’s huge for you. To me man, I care enough about you to put you in my seat in the No. 22.’ So we ran all of that by everyone and got it cleared and moved onto the No. 22 truck,” Mallozzi explained to TobyChristie.com. “And I am elated to be driving for those guys. Following in the footsteps of NASCAR Cup Series winner Chase Briscoe is not anything to gawk at for sure.”
