Rackley W.A.R. will close its NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series program after Friday’s race at Talladega, ending a six-season run. Co-owners Willie Allen and Curtis Sutton said they’ll remain in racing, focusing on their late-model driver development team, which has earned nearly 50 wins since 2021.

By the Numbers
  • 146 Truck Series starts across six seasons, with 14 drivers.
  • 27 top-10 finishes, six top-five finishes and 37 laps led.
  • One playoff appearance, in 2023 with Matt DiBenedetto, who won at Talladega in 2022.
  • Nearly 50 late-model wins since Rackley Roofing and Willie Allen Racing joined forces in 2021.
Yes, But

The Truck Series program is ending, but the owners say the organization is not leaving racing. Its late-model operation will continue, with a stated focus on developing drivers and pursuing wins.

State of Play
  • Dawson Sutton will drive the team’s No. 26 Chevrolet in its final Truck Series start at Talladega.
  • Sutton is set to move to TRICON Garage for the 2027 season.
  • The Love’s RV Stop 225 is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 23, at 4 p.m. ET, airing on FS1, the NASCAR Racing Network and SiriusXM.
What's Next

Rackley W.A.R.’s Truck Series chapter ends at Talladega, while the team’s late-model program continues. Sutton’s move to TRICON Garage gives him a new Truck Series home for 2027.

Bottom Line

Rackley W.A.R. is stepping away from the national Truck Series circuit, not from racing altogether; its next chapter will center on late models and driver development.
