"I'm excited to make my Truck Series debut at Bristol Motor Speedway with Halmar Friesen Racing," Butcher said. "It's a big opportunity, and I'm looking forward to the challenge. Bristol is such an iconic track, and I'm hoping we can put together a solid run and bring home a Top 10 finish. I'm thankful to everyone at Halmar Friesen Racing for the chance to be part of this race."
"Cole has been on our radar for the past few years. I've watched what he's been able to do against some of the toughest Late Model competition in the country and he's been impressive. Already being a part of the TRD family, he's the perfect fit as we continue to grow the team. All of us at HFR are excited to have him join us at Bristol in the 62."
