Wendell Chavous was an entry-level professional racing in the NASCAR Truck Series, a national single-class oval championship mixing amateurs with graded professionals. He competed for Premium Motorsports across four seasons from 2014 to 2018, driving the No. 15 and No. 49 Chevrolet Silverados.[1]
Chavous made 50 starts over his time in the series, finishing 24th in the championship standings in his final season of 2018. He raced regularly against established professionals including Matt Crafton, the 2014 and 2015 series champion, and Johnny Sauter, who won the title in 2013 and again in 2018; Chavous typically finished behind both. He scored victories over drivers who went on to higher levels, including Christopher Bell twice, who won the 2017 Truck Series title and later the NASCAR Cup Series championship, and Chase Briscoe once, though these were isolated results within a career spent as a mid-field regular. His final NASCAR start came at Talladega in October 2018.[2]
