Cale Gale is a professional stock car racing driver who competed in NASCAR's national series from 2006 to 2017. He raced primarily in the Truck Series and Xfinity Series, single-class oval championships run in the United States across fields mixing amateur and professional competitors. His most extensive tenure came with Eddie Sharp Racing, which fielded him in 22 of his 51 starts across both series.[1]
Over 11 seasons, Gale recorded one win and one podium finish. That victory came in the Truck Series, where he made 26 starts between 2012 and 2017 while running the full oval schedule. His Xfinity Series career spanned 2006 to 2009 with 25 starts for Kevin Harvick Inc., finishing 39th in the 2009 championship standings in his final indexed season. Across both series he competed regularly against Johnny Sauter, the 2016 Truck Series champion, and Jason Leffler, an established professional with extensive Xfinity experience; the three were closely matched in head-to-head racing. Gale finished ahead of elite professionals including Denny Hamlin twice and Ryan Blaney three times across his career.[2]
