🇺🇸 Kyle Strickler

Kyle Strickler is an American driver whose record on the NASCAR Truck Series spans two seasons from 2018 to 2021, with two starts yielding no wins or podium finishes. His average finishing position across classified starts stands at 27th. Despite the limited statistics at that level, he recorded single-race results against several front-running professional drivers: he finished ahead of Chase Briscoe, a driver rated at 6,757; Sheldon Creed at 5,768; Josh Berry at 5,252; and Brett Moffitt, a championship-winning driver rated at 4,654. These were isolated instances rather than sustained head-to-head patterns, but they indicate exposure to professional competition.[1]

Strickler's career has primarily centred on dirt late models and modified racing rather than national NASCAR series, the latter representing a marginal part of his racing activity. His biographical background identifies him as "the High Side Tickler," a nickname rooted in his dirt track racing style. With a Racer Rating of 2,896, he sits in the amateur to semi-professional range. His most recent competitive activity dates to 2021 in the Truck Series, where his final classified result placed him 49th; he is now retired from professional racing but has maintained involvement in dirt track competition, including recent appearances in Lucas Late Model events.[2]
