NORTH CANTON, Ohio. – July 13, 2016 – Donnie Levister will pilot the No. 62 Property Pro’s Toyota Tundra in the Camping World Truck Series race at Eldora Speedway on Wednesday night. Levister has spent a good portion of his career racing on southern dirt tracks and should feel right at home on this half-mile clay oval in NW Ohio. Levister is attempting to make his Camping World Truck Series debut at Eldora Speedway after being bumped from the qualifying list at Iowa Speedway earlier this past June due to lack of owner points.
Levister will be competing along side Kyle Larson who drives the No. 42 Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Larson is set to return to Eldora Speedway next week to compete in the Camping World Truck Series for GMS Racing after placing 2nd to Kyle Busch Motorsports driver Christopher Bell in 2015.
The Property Pro’s Tundra marks the second truck wrap design by Shawn Magee Design (SMD), whose work debuted at Kentucky Speedway with the No. 74 SMD Chevy Silverado. SMD continues to serve as the official graphics partner of Faith Motorsports and will continue to sponsor the #62 team for the remaining 2016 season.
