A Dream 16 Years in the Making: Cassten Everidge Announces NASCAR Truck Series Debut

Stroh, IN - On the heels of grabbing his first career Template Late Model win at his home track of Anderson Speedway in Anderson, Indiana, Cassten Everidge announced Sunday afternoon that he would be making his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut on July 24th at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.

Everidge has been around the Template Late Model scene for quite some time, over 10 years in fact. The TrackTune founder started registering stats with the Vore's Welding CRA Late Model Sportsman (now Vore's Welding HRA Late Model Sportsman) as early as 2014. In 54 starts with the Touring Late Model Sportsman division, Everidge earned 36 top 10 finishes, 24 top fives, and found victory lane two times including Winchester Speedway in 2021, and Salem Speedway in 2023. Last season, Everidge was crowned Champion of the CRA Late Model Sportsman division.

His debut at IRP is not by chance. The return of NASCAR to the metro Indianapolis facility has given many Midwest drivers their chance to turn laps with some of the best in the business thanks to their scheduling of local late model shows in recent years. In 2014, Everidge made his IRP debut with the CRA Late Model Sportsman, his first year in the division and one of just three races run that year. In 2020, Everidge returned to IRP to post a 6th place finish, before his career best in 2021 when he finished third to Aaron Pierce and Jake Hinton.

On July 24th, Everidge will climb aboard the Costner Motorsports No.93 with support from Helios.co, TrackTune, and HypercoUSA. In 2026, team owner Caleb Costner and Costner Motorsports announced their intent to compete in various NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series events this season after five years in the ARCA Menards Series.
