The current CARS Tour point leader is heading to NASCAR
Caden Kvapil is set to make his NASCAR Truck Series debut with Freedom Racing Enterprises. He’ll drive the No. 76 on September 17th at Bristol Motor Speedway.
The truck will see sponsorship from Nor-Cal Equipment Rentals.
Spencer Boyd is typically the driver of the truck. He’s also the team owner. However, he’s stepping out of the seat to give the rookie ‘Chevrolet’ driver a chance.
The 19-year-old is the current CARS Tour points leader. He recently went to victory lane at Florence Motor Speedway.

Spencer Boyd comments
“Growth has been the main focus of FRE this year,” said team owner Spencer Boyd.
“We have mixed things up in the driver’s seat this year with the intention of building for the future. Caden had been on our radar to get him the opportunity to make the step up.”
Boyd added, “With his consistent performance in the CARS Tour and our backing from Nor-Cal Equipment Rentals, we determined that Bristol was the right racetrack to make his debut.”
Caden Kvapil comments
“It was a pretty quick ‘Yes’ from me when Spencer reached out,” Caden Kvapil stated.
“He has built a solid race team over at FRE and he and my Dad go way back. For a kid who has grown up in a family of NASCAR racing, it is honestly special to make my debut at Bristol during the Night Race weekend. And for Spencer to step out of the seat and let me race with his longtime sponsor, Nor-Cal Equipment Rentals, on the truck is an honor I do not take lightly.”
He concluded, “I’m optimistic about a good run, hoping to make everyone involved very proud.”
Caden is the son of former NASCAR driver Travis Kvapil and brother of current JR Motorsports driver Carson Kvapil.
Nor-Cal Equipment Rentals comments
“We’ve supported Spencer for quite some time now and love being a part of what he is building at FRE,” said Tom Butts of Nor-Cal Equipment Rentals. “When Spencer explained the details around Caden driving instead of him, I immediately saw the visionary team owner side of him and had to be a part of this one.”
“I’m a longtime fan of Dale Sr. and Dale Jr. so having a Jr. Motorsports driver in a truck I sponsor at Bristol is something that I thought could only exist in dreams!”
