Camping World Truck update: John Wes Townley to miss Texas … – Nascar

John Wes Townley will miss Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway because of an injured left ankle, according to a team release. Cody Coughlin will replace Townley in the No. 05 Zaxby’s Chevrolet for the Striping Technology 350 at 8:30 p.m ET (FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

The team classified the injury as non-racing related.

“I want to wish John Wes a speedy recovery and hope he’s back at the track soon,” Coughlin said in a team release. “I’m honored that Athenian Motorsports thought of me to drive their truck this weekend.”

Coughlin has nine starts this year in the Truck Series for Kyle Busch Motorsports, including a season-best 12th-place finish in June at Texas.
