Veteran crew chief Scott Zipadelli has joined the Red Horse Racing
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series organization and will lead the No. 11 Toyota
Tundra team in 2015.
"Red Horse Racing is a well-respected organization that has
had a lot of success in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and I am very
excited to be a part of it," said Zipadelli. "Ben Kennedy is a
talented driver and I have high expectations for him and the No. 11 team. He
had an outstanding rookie season, and our goal this year is to win races and
put ourselves in position to contend for the 2015 championship."
Team owner Tom DeLoach commented, "We are very happy to
have Scott Zipadelli join the Red Horse Racing family. He is a great addition
to our leadership here. I have set the bar high for this group in 2015, and
expect great things."
It was announced in December that Ben Kennedy, the 2014 NASCAR
Camping World Truck Series Rookie of the Year, would pilot the No. 11 machine
for Red Horse Racing.
"Scott Zipadelli has great experience on top of the pit box
and brings a lot to the program," added Kennedy. "I am really looking
forward to working with him and can't wait to unload our No. 11 Toyota Tundra
at Daytona International Speedway in February."
Zipadelli first assumed the role of crew chief in 2007 and since
then has led 17 drivers to three wins, 32 top-five and 86 top-10 finishes, and
two pole awards in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The Berlin, Connecticut native is
coming off of the most successful season of his career. Under Zipadelli's
leadership Kyle Larson made two visits to Victory Lane, earned one pole
position and recorded an average finishing position of 8.4 in 2014.
The 2015 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season kicks off with
the NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway on Friday,
Feb. 20.
