Stephen Mallozzi Making First Truck Start of 2024 at Martinsville with RBR
After running a four-race schedule in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series last season, Stephen Mallozzi is set to make his first start of 2024, linking up with Reaume Brothers Racing once again for Friday’s Long John Silver’s 200 at Martinsville Speedway.
Mallozzi will pilot the No 22 Ford F-150 in Friday’s 200-lap contest, the second full-time entry for the Josh Reaume-owned organization. The Swedesboro, New Jersey-native will have support from long-time partners Stacking Dennys and Win the Race, while bringing along new partner Ozark Rods.
“I am super excited to be back with Reaume Brothers Racing,” said Mallozzi. “Everyone at the shop is like a second family to me. Without Josh Reaume and all of the hardworking people at RBR, my career never would’ve happened. I’m grateful for every single opportunity I get behind the wheel, and I am so thankful for all of my partners who have trusted me to represent their brands with pride.”

Entry List: NCTS Long John Silver’s 200 at Martinsville Speedway
There are 33 trucks on the preliminary entry list for Friday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Long John Silver’s 200 at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia. This 200-lap race, which takes place around the 0.526-mile short track, will mark the seventh race of the 23-race NASCAR Xfinity Series season.
Up to 36 trucks are permitted to start races in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. With less than 36 trucks on the entry list, no drivers or teams will go home following qualifying this weekend.
One Infinity race and Bubba Pollard has a top 10 finish - I’m amazed and disappointed he doesn’t get a shot for a full year ride with a solid team - he can drive circles around most of the current crop of drivers.
