Carson Kvapil to Drive the No. 97 Grant County Mulch Truck for CR7 Motorsports at Richmond Raceway

Statesville, N.C. (August 11, 2025) – CR7 Motorsports is proud to announce that Carson Kvapil will pilot the No. 97 Grant County Mulch Chevrolet Silverado RST in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Richmond Raceway. Michael Shelton will serve as the crew chief. The event marks the return of the No.97 Truck to competition for the first time since 2024, when it was last driven by team owner Codie Rohrbaugh in Daytona. 

Kvapil, a rising star in the NASCAR ranks, will make his debut in CR7’s second entry alongside the team’s flagship No.9 Truck. Sponsored by Grant County Mulch, the No.97’s return brings added excitement to the hometown race. 

“I’m really excited to join CR7 Motorsports and drive the 97 Truck at Richmond in front of the families and friends of Codie (Rohrbaugh) and Grant County Mulch,” said Carson “It will be a bit of a learning curve as I have never been to Richmond, but I look forward to the experience and opportunity. I can’t wait to get on track with the 97 group and see what we can do!”

The team owner Codie Rohrbaugh expressed his enthusiasm about bringing back the second entry and having a driver like Kvapil behind the wheel. 

“We are thrilled to have Carson (Kvapil) in the 97 Truck,” said Rohrbaugh. “He’s a talented young driver with a lot of upside. It is special to have the 97 Truck back on track with Grant County Mulch. We have a great team put together and I look forward to Michael Shelton coming out of retirement to be back on top of the pit box!”  

Kvapil will debut the GCM No.97 Chevrolet Silverado RST on Friday August 15^th for the EERO 250 at 7:30 p.m. EST. The EERO 250 will air live on Fox Sports 1, The Motor Racing Network (MRN) and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
