Joey Coulter
No. 21 Allegiant Travel Chevrolet Silverado
 
This Week's GMS Racing’s Chevrolet Silverado at Gateway Motorsports Park ... Joey Coulter will pilot Chassis No. 025 in the Drivin' for Linemen 200 at Gateway Motorsports Park. This Chevrolet Silverado has served as a backup all season to the Jeff Stankiewicz-led team but this will mark the first laps for the chassis in 2014. Prior to being in the GMS Racing fleet, Chassis No. 025 spent time at Richard Childress Racing (RCR) with Ty Dillon. This Chevrolet was previously run as a No. 2 machine for RCR. During the 2012 off-season, it was transformed into a No. 3 Chevrolet and made its first paces with Dillon at Iowa Speedway finishing in 16th-place.

“Meet Me in St. Louis” ... Although this weekend marks Coulter's first Gateway Motorsports Park appearance, the Miami Springs, Fla., driver is among an even playing field, as only nine drivers in Saturday's race have previous starts at the track.

Come Fly with Me ... The No. 21 Chevrolet Silverado team will sport the black, blue and yellow colors this weekend at Gateway Motorsports Park, with Allegiant Travel adorning the hood and quarter panels. With low-low fares, nonstop, all-jet service and premier travel partners, Allegiant provides a complete travel experience with great value and without all the hassle.
 
Travel is Our Deal … Where does Allegiant fly? Local Allegiant destinations to Gateway Motorsports Park include: Belleville, Ill. (BLV) (23.2 miles) to Orlando / Sanford, Fla. (SFB) or Springfield, Ill. (SPI) (97 miles) to Orlando / Sanford, Fla. (SFB) and Punta Gorda, Fla. (PGD). 

Media Kart ... Coulter will be participating in a karting event with local media at Gateway Motorsports Park on Friday, June 13, at 8:30 p.m. CT.

Meet Coulter … Coulter is scheduled to participate in an autograph session with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series on Saturday, June 14 from 2:15 - 3:15 PM at Gateway, where he will be located in front of the Kartplex on the Turns 1 and 2 side of the infield.
 
JOEY COULTER QUOTE:
"I am really looking forward to turning some laps around Gateway Motorsports Park. It is a new track for me and it is one that I have always wanted to race on. I think it is going to be a really exciting race for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series because there are only a few drivers in the series that have ever been to the track before. Coming off of another top 10 run at Texas Motor Speedway, I am really confident that we are going to carry a lot of momentum into this weekend’s race and for the weeks to come. The GMS Racing No. 21 guys are working hard to develop new setups for this Chevrolet nose and they are making really good progress and getting us closer to the front every week.”
