Tanner Thorson is a United States-based entry-level professional driver who competes primarily in dirt track racing. His indexed record spans 13 starts across two national single-class championships between 2016 and 2018: the ARCA Menards Series and the NASCAR Truck Series, where he drove the No. 12 and No. 20 Chevrolet Silverado for Young's Motorsports. He finished 31st in the 2018 NASCAR Truck championship standings.[1]
In ARCA, Thorson made three starts for Illinois Truck & Equipment and Turn One between 2016 and 2017, racing on road and street courses alongside one oval outing. His NASCAR Truck campaign in 2018 comprised ten oval starts as his largest indexed effort. His record in both series places him in mixed fields that range from amateur and semi-professional entrants to graded professionals. He typically finished behind regular opponent Justin Haley, a professional with over 70 NASCAR Truck starts to his name, though he raced closely with entry-level professional Justin Fontaine across both series. Thorson has two finishes ahead of Ross Chastain, an established professional and 2022 NASCAR Cup Series champion, and one finish ahead of Christopher Bell, the 2017 NASCAR Truck champion and 2024 NASCAR Cup Series champion, though these remain isolated results within a limited sample of starts.[2]
