Donny Lia to Drive Fourth BDR Truck at Loudon
High Point, NC — Bill Davis Racing announced today that Donny Lia, one of NASCAR’s Modified Superstars, will drive a fourth truck for the team in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at [Loudon] New Hampshire International Speedway Sept. 15.
The Jericho, N.Y., native has competed in many different series over the years, including the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. Lia had already tamed two of the three most hallowed tracks on the Tour (Stafford [Conn.] Motor Speedway and New Hampshire International Speedway) this season, and he completed the sweep Saturday night when he captured the pole and a win at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway. It was his sixth victory of the season.
“I am very excited about this opportunity,” Lia said. “Bill Davis Racing is the best of the best when it comes to the Craftsman Trucks, and I can’t wait to hop in one of their Tundras in Loudon. I have had a lot of success in other NASCAR ranks, and I am anxious to see what I can do in the trucks. I have always run well at Loudon and actually already won there in the Modified this year. I am looking forward to making the best of this opportunity for Bill Davis and Mark Chambers.”
“Lia has proven himself in other series,” said Team Manager Mark Chambers. “He has accomplished a lot on the race track in a very short period of time. So we thought it would be interesting to see what he could do at the next level.”
