Mason Massey joins Young’s Motorsports full-time for 2024 NASCAR season

Young’s Motorsports announced on Monday morning that Mason Massey will drive the No. 02 truck full-time during the 2024 NASCAR season.

The NASCAR Truck Series driver lineup is rounding out as Daytona International Speedway is coming this weekend. On Monday morning, [autotag]Young’s Motorsports[/autotag] announced that [autotag]Mason Massey[/autotag] will drive the No. 02 truck full-time during the 2024 Truck Series season. This will be Massey’s first full-time season in the series.

In 2023, the 27-year-old driver made seven starts with a best finish of 11th place at Texas Motor Speedway. Massey drove six of his seven races with Reaume Brothers Racing; however, he drove the No. 20 truck for Young’s Motorsports in his final race of the season at Richmond Raceway. It was a 34th-place effort, but he showed enough potential throughout the year.

Now, Young’s Motorsports has two full-time teams in NASCAR for the 2024 season. Leland Honeyman Jr. will drive the No. 42 Xfinity car full-time, representing the organization’s first season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, while Massey will represent the Truck Series in the No. 02 truck. The hope is that he becomes a consistent driver for the race team.

Leland Honeyman Jr. joins Young’s Motorsports in NASCAR Xfinity Series for 2024

Young’s Motorsports announced on Wednesday that it will field a full-time NASCAR Xfinity Series car with Leland Honeyman Jr. in 2024.

[autotag]Young’s Motorsports[/autotag] ran its first full-time season in the NASCAR Truck Series during the 2014 season but has never exceeded the level. However, that will change for the 2024 NASCAR season, 10 years after the team’s full-time debut. Young’s Motorsports announced on Wednesday that it will field a full-time NASCAR Xfinity Series entry with [autotag]Leland Honeyman Jr.[/autotag]

Honeyman will drive the No. 42 Xfinity car full-time with Andrew Abbott as his crew chief. Abbott served as Honeyman’s crew chief while with Young’s Motorsports in the ARCA Menards Series East during the 2022 season. In 2023, the 18-year-old driver competed in eight Xfinity Series races with a best finish of 21st place with Alpha Prime Racing at the Charlotte ROVAL.

If Young’s Motorsports was going to make the jump to the Xfinity Series, Honeyman was the perfect driver for the job. The Young’s Motorsports driver has potential and should grow with the organization in this journey. It will be interesting to see how Honeyman and the NASCAR team perform in their first full-time Xfinity Series season, as expectations shouldn’t be too high.

Young’s Motorsports’ 2023 NASCAR Truck Series season in review

Young’s Motorsports had an average year in the NASCAR Truck Series. Here, you can check out the NASCAR team’s 2023 season in review!

[autotag]Young’s Motorsports[/autotag] is trying to become more competitive in the NASCAR Truck Series; however, the 2023 season didn’t see the desired improvement. Spencer Boyd, the driver of the No. 12 truck, failed to earn a top-10 finish as the team’s only full-time competitor. Boyd ended the year with a disappointing 28th-place finish in the point standings.

As for the other drivers, Kaden Honeycutt was the only one to see true success. Honeycutt had two top-10 finishes in five starts. The Young’s Motorsports driver had a best finish of ninth place at Bristol Dirt and followed it up with a 10th-place finish at Darlington Raceway. Honeycutt was the only driver to display the speed that Young’s Motorsports desired.

In 2024, Young’s Motorsports has yet to make any announcements about its plans. Boyd had a disappointing season, so seeing someone like Honeycutt replace him in the No. 12 truck wouldn’t be surprising. Either way, Young’s Motorsports wants to see more success, and it may take changes among its full-time drivers to accomplish that goal.
