ThorSport Racing driver Johnny Sauter is on the cusp of creating NASCAR history Sunday at Rockingham Speedway.

So setting aside the passion that Sauter brings to every second he's practicing his craft, as he prepares to attempt to win his third consecutive NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race to begin this season -- he's just Johnny being Johnny. And if he's able to win, Sauter will become the first driver in any NASCAR national touring series to win the first three races of the season. Sauter's currently tied with Mark Martin, who previously won two in 2006 in the Truck Series, Tony Stewart and Chad Little accomplished it in Nationwide and Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth did it in Cup.-ThorSport Racing

Johnny Sauter is set to debut ThorSport's No. 98 Carolina Nut Co. / Curb Records Toyota Tundra in the 14th annual Daytona season-opener for the NCWTS.

In 98 of his previous 108 career starts Sauter's driven the No. 13 now piloted by Todd Bodine, but the new scheme is important to Sauter and listed team owner Mike Curb. "To have The Carolina Nut Co. on our Toyota trucks is obviously a win-win -- it's great exposure for the sponsor and awesome snacks for everybody from our team to all the fans out there," Sauter said. "Changing our number is good for Mike, because his Nationwide car, his Sprint Cup car and a lot of his short-track stuff is all No. 98. So it's really cool for Mike to have, I guess you'd call it that brand awareness that when you see a No. 98 race truck or car it's probably affiliated with Mike Curb.-ThorSport Racing
