Chatting with Cody Coughlin…
“I’ve always loved Miami, but it’s always been a vacation spot. This week we’ll get to combine that with the race on Friday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway. It’s a new track for me, so that’ll be interesting. I know that we can race from the bottom of the track, all the way up to the wall, so that’ll be interesting too. I’ll be relying on the notes prepared by Terry Cook (spotter) to get me ready for the race, just like I did for last week’s race at Phoenix.”

Notes:
- This Week’s No. 13 RIDE TV Toyota Tundra… The No. 13 ThorSport Racing team will unload chassis No. 51 for Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway (HMS). This is the same chassis Cody Coughlin piloted to two top-10 finishes earlier this season at Pocono Raceway (8th), and Las Vegas Motor Speedway (6th).
- Miami Minute… Although Coughlin will make his 35th career NCWTS start on Friday night at HMS, the RIDE TV driver will be making his track debut at the 1.5-mile oval.
- Feeling at Home in Homestead… Coughlin may call Delaware, OH home, but the ThorSport Racing driver loves the “Miami Heat.” Coughlin, who enjoys spending time in South Beach, also favors the local fare, and jet skiing when he’s in South Florida.
- Calling The Shots… Rich Lushes will once again call the shots for Coughlin and the No. 13 ThorSport Racing team at HMS.
- A Career-Best… Coughlin scored a career-best, third-place finish in the series’ last stop at Phoenix International Raceway. In 22 starts this season, the ThorSport Racing driver has one top-five and three top-10 finishes.
- Truck Series Stats… Coughlin has made 34 career NCWTS starts since 2015, with a career-best start of seventh at Talladega Superspeedway (2016), and a career-best finish of third at Phoenix International Speedway (2017).
