Ray Black Jr. to SS Green Light Racing for Six NCWTS Races

SS Green Light racing is pleased to announce that Florida late model standout Ray Black Jr. has joined the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team. Black will make a minimum of six starts for the veteran team beginning with the Kroger 250 at the Martinsville Speedway on March 29th.

Having enjoyed racing on video games, Ray decided to give the real thing a try at age 14 in the Florida Mini Cup Racing Association (FMCRA). After a couple seasons he progressed through the asphalt ranks running in the Advance Auto Parts Pro Truck series and various late model series throughout the Southeastern United States over the last six years. Black will continue to run his Team Scuba super late model through 2014 when not competing in the SS Green Light Racing Silverado in the NCWTS.

“We are planning to do six NCWTS races this year. My first one is Martinsville and then we’ll see what happens after that race and take if from there,” explained Black. “I’m sure we will have a lot more of a direction after that race and see what tracks I get approved for. We’ll figure out what path we want to chase in order to get to Daytona.”

Black is a life-long scuba diver and his 2014 NCWTS entries will run with support from a variety of diving related entities including ScubaLife, the CDA Technical Institute and the National Academy of Scuba Educators (NASE Worldwide.)

If we can find some more sponsorship we will try to race more,” Black concluded. “Right now we have six races to see what experience is best at each track to reach the ultimate goal to run full time in NASCAR.”
