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
Third in LiUNA 150
Ruggiero finished third in the LiUNA 150 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Lime Rock Park on Saturday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
The young driver would start 12th on the grid and would manage his race well. Ruggiero wouldn't spend much time inside the Top 10 but his move forward would be well-timed. The chaos of the closing laps would see him climb past a few drivers and hold off veteran Ben Rhodes to claim the strong third-place finish. It was Ruggiero's third Top 5 of the season and snapped a four-race Top-10 drought.
