Camping World Truck Series
Truck No. 16 history
The team ran part time in 2016, using the No. 16 and entering the short track races with Friesen as driver.[1] For the team's debut race at Eldora, the truck had a body from Kyle Busch Motorsports and an engine from Richard Childress Racing.[2]
Truck No. 52 history
In 2017, the team announced plans to run the full Truck schedule as Halmar Friesen Racing with Friesen driving the renumbered No. 52.[3] HFR hired Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series team owner Tommy Baldwin Jr. of Tommy Baldwin Racing to serve as team manager.[4]
After the June Texas race, the team announced a two-race hiatus and that they would return in Kentucky in July.[5]
Friesen captured the pole for the 2017 Eldora Dirt Derby and finished second to Matt Crafton in the race after leading over half of the laps.[6]
On August 23, 2017, HFR announced the end of its partnership with Tommy Baldwin and the start of a new technical alliance with GMS Racing.[7]
