Jordan Anderson (born April 15, 1991)[1] is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 66 Chevrolet Silverado for Bolen Motorsports.

Background

Racing career

Anderson's No. 66 Truck at the NASCAR Hall of Fame

Anderson began racing in karts as an eight-year-old.[2] He raced in Legends and Late model cars as his career developed.[2] Anderson made one start in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2013 along with two starts in the CARS X-1R Pro Cup Series and various Late Model races.[1] He made an April start in the K&N Pro Series East at Richmond with the intention of running the full season, but his car owner began writing bad checks and the team was forced to close down. Anderson then sold one of his own personally-owned Super Late Models to pay off the debt of his former car owner to keep his name clear of any debts.[2]

As a rookie in the Camping World Truck Series, he drove the No. 50 Living Integrity Chevrolet Silverado for MAKE Motorsports in the second last race of 2014 at Phoenix,[1] and then also competed for Mike Harmon Racing in the final race of 2014 season at Homestead-Miami. Anderson would continue driving for Harmon throughout the entire 2015 season finishing 19th in final driver points with a best finish of 13th at Michigan.[1]

In 2016, Anderson joined Bolen Motorsports for the full Truck schedule, driving the No. 66 Silverado with sponsorship from Columbia, SC – Famously Hot.[3] Anderson barely made in the race at Daytona, after Ben Kennedy lost an engine during his qualifying. He finished 30th after having rear gear problems.
