Gray Gaulding: Racing for Jimmy Means

Gaulding is slated to run the full 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule for Means Motorsports, Dustin Albino of Jayski reports.

Analysis:

The 21-year-old driver replaces Kody Vanderwal in the team's No. 52 Chevrolet for the full 2021 season. Tim Brown will handle the team's crew chief duties, and Gaulding will look to form chemistry with him quickly. The young driver made just six starts in this division of NASCAR last season, but collected two Top-10 finishes in those efforts.
