As was expected, Ryan Blaney will run the entire 22-race schedule for Brad Keselowski Racing in the No. 29 Ford with sponsorship from Cooper Standard.
Blaney, 18, became the youngest winner in series history last September when he went to Victory Lane at Iowa Speedway. The win was also the first win for BKR, which has been competing in the Truck Series since 2008.
The second BKR entry will carry the No. 19 and have a rotating cast of drivers including Keselowski, Joey Logano, Ross Chastain and Ryan’s father, Dave Blaney.
Keselowski and Logano are Cup teammates at Penske Racing and the exact number of starts each will make has yet to be determined. Chastain will drive in 15 races including next month’s season-opener at Daytona.
Dave Blaney will compete in the July 24 event at Eldora Speedway - the series’ first ever on dirt. Blaney is a former World of Outlaws champion and has won races at Eldora previously.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the way 2013 is shaping up for BKR,” Keselowski said in a statement. “We have been able to retain and attract top notch personnel. The crew chiefs, drivers, and team members all put their hearts into this organization. Hard work equals results, and I am proud of each and every teammate’s passion for excellence. Last season was a huge stepping stone for the organization as we claimed our first victory. We are looking forward to building on last year’s success this season.”
