Trevor Huddleston will once again chase the ARCA Menards Series West championship in 2024, he confirmed to Frontstretch.
He will pilot the No. 50 High Point Racing Ford with Jeff Schrader as his crew chief.
Racecar Factory and High Point Distributing will be the two primary sponsors throughout the season. Additionally, Irwindale Speedway, Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway and All American Speedway will support Huddleston. Trevor’s father Tim Huddleston owns and operates Irwindale and Kern.
“The first year was kind of our testing year,” Trevor Huddleston said. “We took the team over from Bob Bruncati so we were getting our bearings. This year, High Point is taking on everything and really, let’s just say, starting from scratch with the ARCA car. It’s going full swing on it trying to see if we can get ahead of the competition especially here at Phoenix Raceway.”
After only competing part time in 2022, Huddleston ran full time in 2023, his fifth full season in the West. He took over Bruncati’s Sunrise Ford Racing organization after Bruncati retired from team ownership. Huddleston finished third in the standings, his career-best performance. He won the second Irwindale event and also accrued five top fives, eight top 10s and two poles.
The 27-year-old led the third-most laps in the 12-race season with 247, but he wants better finishing positions in 2024 to capture the title.
“Being in the right place at the right time,” he added. “Last year we were close on speed. Obviously, Sean Hingorani had a great year. He was able to put it together a little bit more than us. We had a couple of issues at Madera Speedway and Portland International Raceway where we got wrecked on the last lap of the race. If you take those points and equate them to what we lost there, it would have been a much closer championship battle.
“So we need to be as fast as possible but be able to complete the race where we’re running rather than getting wrecked out at the last minute. So consistency is going to be the key. And having clean races; making sure that the No. 50 comes home where it deserves to rather than what some of our finishes last year showed.”
Huddleston has three career West victories, two at Irwindale and one at Evergreen Speedway. Evergreen will not host the West in 2024. Huddleston expects to take home more trophies this season.
“To be honest with you, I think there’s a lot of places we can go and win,” he…
