Gio Ruggiero
TRICON Garage
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The 20-year-old has made quite a name for himself in the various ARCA Menards Series and is now ready for his first action in the Craftsman Truck Series. Reggiero's efforts caught the attention of TRICON Garage and they signed him to take over the seat of the No. 17 Toyota. Taylor Gray piloted this truck last season to good results with 14 Top-10 finishes and a strong sixth-place points finish. Under Gray's guidance the team flirted with victory lane a couple times but couldn't cash in. Ruggiero will be teamed with crew chief, Jerame Donley, and his two seasons of truck series experience. This young driver and his strong race team will be one of the leading contenders for Rookie of the Year and could possibly press inside Top 10 of the driver points. Read Past Outlooks
First Career Win
Ruggiero won the Love's RV Stop 225 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Talladega Superspeedway on Friday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
The TRICON Garage youngster started on the pole and led 37 laps for the day. Ruggiero would take the win in stage 2 and keep great track position down the stretch. A late caution would set up some drama for the finish but he would get a good push from teammate, Corey Heim to maintain the lead and capture the win at Talladega. It was Ruggiero's first-career victory in just his 23rd series start.
