Wyler Racing officials announced Tuesday that veteran Terry Cook will drive the team's No. 06 Toyota in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2008, joining teammate Richard Johns.
"Terry has been a staple in the Craftsman Truck Series over the years and brings a wealth of experience to our team," team owner Jeff Wyler said in a statement. "He will be a true asset to our organization."
Cook has competed in 265 truck series races since 1996, winning six. He drove for HT Motorsports in 2007.
"The Wylers have put together an awesome team that has proven to be one of the best in the Craftsman Truck Series year after year," Cook said. "They have finished in the top 10 in points each year that they've raced in the series full time, and I am looking forward to carrying that on in 2008."
The team said Rick Gay will serve as Cook's crew chief. Gay and Cook previously worked together at ppc Racing.
The team is looking for sponsorship for Cook and the No. 06.
Wyler had announced a merger with South Point Racing, with Brendan Gaughan joining the team. But the merger fell through, and Johns was recently announced as the driver of the No. 60.
