Truck No. 81 history

Ryan Truex (2016)

In early 2016, it was announced that Mayetta, New Jersey's Ryan Truex would drive the No. 81 Toyota for the full season, contingent on sponsorship, according to Truex. [33] Truex turned in a stellar run at the season-opening NextEra Energy Resources 250, finishing second. Truex may have won the race if not for NASCAR's "freeze-the-field" rule, which freezes the field when a caution comes out. Truex had lost support from Parker Kligerman, which allowed Johnny Sauter to win in his first race for GMS Racing. Truex did lead fourteen laps in the race. [34] Truex would follow that up with a 20th at Atlanta Motor Speedway and a 12th at Martinsville. [35] Funding fizzled out mid-season, and the team was forced to skip some races in the middle of the season. [36] The team also switched crew chiefs, bringing in Wauters Motorsports owner Richie Wauters midseason. [14] The No. 81 became the No. 16 at the end of 2016.
