Turner Motorsports driver Ricky Carmichael will have sponsorship from the Monster Beverage Company for the 2010 Camping World Truck Series season, the team announced Wednesday.
The former motocross star drove in 16 races last year for Kevin Harvick Inc.
“Monster has been a sponsor of mine for five years,” Carmichael said. “So it’s really an honor for them to continue to expand their motorsports efforts with me. I learned so much as a driver working with Kevin last year.
“He encouraged me to make the jump to Turner Motorsports because of the number of races I was going to be able to compete in. I know seat time is the key for me becoming a successful driver."
Mike Fritts will be Carmichael’s crew chief for the 2010 season.
