Gary Showalter is a fixture in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. He has been
involved in the truck series since it’s beginning, working every truck race

activities and won races with notable drivers Butch Miller, the late Kenny Irwin
Jr., Terry Cook, and Randy Tolsma. Gary also has the distinct honor of having
won truck races with all three-truck manufacturers participating in the series,
Ford, Chevy and Dodge. Before joining the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series,
Gary, an Ohio native, was a winning crew chief in the Iceman Series (Late Model

"We are very pleased to have Gary working with our team," stated owner Mike
Mittler. "Gary's experience we believe will help our team fine-tune the truck
setup to run those tenths-of-a-second faster, we've been looking for. We have
run well on the super speedways in the past and are looking to pick it up another
notch with Gary's help."
