Tricon Garage, formerly known as David Gilliland Racing, DGR-Crosley, and Team DGR,[1] is an American professional stock car racing team that competes in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.[2] The team was founded in early 2017 when racing team owners David Gilliland and Bo LeMastus came together to form a collaborative effort from their respective teams, David Gilliland Racing and Crosley Sports Group, known as DGR-Crosley. DGR-Crosley fielded Toyotas in 2018 and 2019 before announcing its switch to Ford starting in 2020.[3] The team reverted to the David Gilliland Racing name in 2021 as Johnny Gray became a co-owner.[4] Former co-owner and driver Bo LeMastus remained with the team in a marketing and sponsorship capacity.

On October 27, 2022, the team announced that they would be moving to Toyota Racing Development in 2023 and would rename the team Tricon Garage. The new name is said to be derived from the prefix tri- and the word icon.[5]

Truck No. 17 history

[edit]
Harrison Burton in the No. 17 at Sonoma Raceway in 2022
Multiple drivers (2018–2022)

On January 22, 2018, it was announced that David Gilliland Racing and Crosley Sports Group would merge into one team and join the Truck Series part-time. The team had purchased Red Horse Racing's assets. Chris Eggleston was announced as the driver beginning at Charlotte for a limited schedule. However, with the threat of rain before the Charlotte race, Eggleston moved to the primary 54 truck for the race and team co-owner Bo LeMastus shifted to the 17, which had no owner points. Qualifying was rained out, and LeMastus missed the race.[24]

On December 14, 2018, it was announced that Tyler Ankrum will compete full-time in the No. 17 competing for Rookie of the Year honors in 2019. He will miss the first three races due to age restrictions but run all the races after that.[25] On February 20, 2019, it was announced that Ryan Reed will drive the No. 17 Toyota at the Strat 200 at Las Vegas.[26] On July 11, 2019, Ankrum scored his first Truck Series win at Kentucky after Brett Moffitt ran out of fuel towards the final lap. This also marked DGR-Crosley's first Truck Series win.[27] In 2020, Hailie Deegan made her Truck series debut at Kansas Speedway. In 2021, Taylor Gray was scheduled to drive at the ToyotaCare 250, but he suffered multiple fractures in a single-car accident. That same year Donny Schatz would make his debut at the Corn Belt Weekend. Ryan Preece won at Nashville Superspeedway in his Truck Series debut. Preece would win again at Nashville in 2022.

Taylor Gray (2023-2024)
Tay. Gray at Las Vegas in 2024

Taylor Gray was announced as a TRD development driver on October 27, 2022. He was announced that he would be driving to No. 17 starting at Circuit of the Americas due to him not being old enough to run the first three races of the season.
