NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team, Spire Motorsports announced today that Chase Purdy will drive its No. 77 Chevrolet Silverado RST truck full-time in 2024.

Purdy last season drove for Kyle Busch Motorsports, having a breakout season with 3 Top 5’s, 11 Top 10’s, 2 poles (Kansas and Talladega) as well as an 11th place finish in points.

“Chase Purdy is really coming into his own as a driver, and we think pairing him with a crew chief the caliber of Jason Trinchere will elevate his level of competitiveness immediately,” said Spire Motorsports President Doug Duchardt. “We put a lot of thought into putting Chase together with the right person and at the conclusion of that process, it was very clear that Jason is the person to lead the No. 77 team. This is a combination we expect to set a very high bar in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.”

“I’m really excited to get going on 2024 with Spire Motorsports,” said Purdy. “Seeing what they’ve done in the last few years and the drivers they’ve had come through, being in that system makes me excited for the future. I’m more determined than ever. There are a few new people, Jason Trinchere obviously being one of them, but, for the most part, we still have our same core group of guys, so we’re looking to keep up that momentum from last year. I’m just really eager to get the new season started. I can’t wait to get to work.”

Jason Trinchere will be the crew chief for Purdy.

Trinchere has a lot of experience with teams at Spears Motorsports as well as DEI, Ganassi Racing, Penske, and most recently, Kaulig, where he picked up 21 wins as a Crew Chief.

Bama Buggies will be the primary sponsor for the 2024 campaign, with other sponsors to be announced during the year.
