2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ankrum raced to arguably his best campaign of his six-season truck series career last year. He'd stack up career-bests of six Top-5 and 12 Top-10 finishes. The young driver would be held out of victory lane, but Ankrum had the speed to challenge for a win on a couple of occasions. He returns to this race team once again for the upcoming season and teams again with crew chief Mark Hillman. The two will look to build on the consistency they established last season and hopefully make a big push to get into victory lane in 2025. Ankrum has a lot of potential and we'll soon see if he's reached the pinnacle or has more room to grow. Read Past Outlooks
Third in Window World 250
Ankrum finished third in the Window World 250 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at North Wilkesboro Speedway on Saturday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
The driver of the No. 18 Chevrolet showed off his short track skills once again. Ankrum came from 13th on the starting grid to quickly crack the Top 10. He would push inside the Top 5 during stage 2 and remain there the rest of the race. Ankrum would battle among the leaders for the win during NASCAR overtime, but would have to hold off Daniel Hemric for the strong third-place finish at North Wilkesboro.

2019
Ankrum comes off a bit of a lackluster season with just six Top-10 finishes and a subpar 17th-place finish in the final driver standings. The young driver will look to rediscover some of the swagger he showed three-to-four seasons ago in 2024. Ankrum moves from the No. 16 Hattori Racing Enterprises Toyota and into the No. 18 Chevrolet truck of McAnally-Hilgemann. This is the same truck that Jake Garcia piloted last season to nine Top-10 finishes and a respectable 13th-place showing in the driver points. Ankrum has race winning and Top-10 driver potential as he showed in the 2019 and 2020 campaigns. The youngster will be paired with Mark Hillman at crew chief and the two will look to keep this team elevated and to boost Ankrum's performance to its former competitiveness. Having championship contender, Christian Eckes, for a teammate will certainly help in the feedback loop.
