Kris Wright

Wright raced in multiple lower divisions of NASCAR last season in what appears to have been a crash course in stock car racing prep. The young Pennsylvanian showed good ability and netted some good results in those multiple racing series. Wright has now been named to be the full-time driver of Young's No. 02 Chevrolet. He'll compete for Rookie of the Year in this division of NASCAR and look to make an impact immediately. Wright will be teamed with crew chief Chad Kendrick. Kendrick has 13 seasons of crew chief experience in this division of NASCAR with six victories and 107 Top-10 finishes to his credit. In recent season's he's had success mentoring drivers such as Tyler Dippel and Austin Hill. Wright will be a little fish in a big pond in 2021, and certainly they'll be a steep learning curve along the way.
