ARCA Series Driver Armani Williams to Make a Return to the NASCAR Truck Series

For the 2022 NASCAR Truck season, the paddock will have a new face among them. According to reports, ARCA Series driver Armani Williams will compete for Reaume Brothers Racing in a multi-race deal. This is actually a very momentous news because Williams is openly diagnosed on the autism spectrum.

Last year, the 22-year-old made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut at Gateway in the No. 33 Reaume Brothers Racing Toyota, finishing 21st. Over there, he went on to finish in a respectable 21st-place. To make matters even sweeter, the result means that he qualified for his NASCAR speedway license.

He said, “I’m incredibly grateful for this next chapter in my NASCAR career by making my Truck Series debut at Texas Motor Speedway next month. We have been diligently working hard on sponsorship to run as many Truck Series races as we can this season and I’m thrilled to have a few races locked down with some terrific partners.”

When will Armani Williams race in the Truck Series?

As mentioned before, Williams will kick-start his campaign at the Texas Motor Speedway on May 23rd. In terms of sponsorship, he has IceCOLD Technology and The Doug Flutie Foundation for Autism Inc supporting him. It is worth mentioning that Doug Flutie is a former NFL quarterback, who played for various teams. This includes New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills, and the Chicago Bears, among others.

Back in 1998, Flutie and his wife started the foundation in honor of their son, Dougie. This was because Dougie was diagnosed with autism at three years old. Since its inception, the Flutie Foundation donated close to $15 million to schools and organizations to help support autistic people.

Team owner Josh Reaume has confessed that he is delighted to field a ‘dedicated’ driver of Williams’ caliber. Over the course of his career, Armani Williams had one Camping World Truck race after running in various junior series. This includes the ARCA Menards Series, ARCA East, ARCA West, and the NASCAR Pinty’s Series.
