Paludo will continue to be paired with crew chief Jeff Hensley and will drive a No. 32 truck sponsored by Duroline Brakes.
This season, Paludo improved his average finish from 18.1 to 13.9 and had five top-10 finishes in 22 races. His best result of the season was a fifth-place finish in the finale at Homestead.
“I joined Turner Motorsports because I believed that it was an organization where I could race competitively, and I am very excited to have the opportunity to continue to compete for what was, without a doubt, the most successful team in our series in 2012,” Paludo said in a statement. “The fact that we closed out the last season with a championship trophy and all three of our full-time trucks in the top 10 in points says a lot for what our organization is capable of.”
Turner won the Truck title with James Buescher this season, which was only its third season of full-time competition. It won seven of the 22 races as an organization.
Next season, Jeb Burton (Ward’s son) will also drive a full-time entry for the team.
