2025 Hopes and Expectations

ThorSport must have high hopes for their 2025 campaign, considering they seem to be a favourite year in and year out to win a championship.  Having won 4 of the last 6 Truck Series Championships, they likely come in with a win-or-bust mentality.  Garcia comes in as the most green of the drivers, looking for his first career win this year.  Crafton had a down year by his standards, and will look to return to victory lane and the playoffs.  Majeski will look to defend his title, and Rhodes will hope to go for his third.  Anything less for this team, and there may have to be some personnel changes.
