Nineteen-year-old Ashton Torgerson signed with Three Stooges Racing to finish his rookie World of Outlaws season, taking over the team’s No. 51 ride after Scott Bogucki’s departure. The move is a midseason personnel change for both the driver and the teams involved.

Torgerson began the season driving Shark Racing’s No. 1A, running 17 races and posting four top-10s and a runner-up finish at Volusia Speedway Park before Shark Racing parked the No. 1A. He also filled in for Moody Motorsports at Williams Grove and finished eighth in the HVAC Distributors Morgan Cup finale in only his second night in the No. 99M.

The signing preserves Torgerson’s full-season rookie campaign and keeps him active in the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year presented by Five Star Bodies fight. At signing he trailed Emerson Axsom by 24 points. He is scheduled to debut for Three Stooges Racing at Attica Raceway Park on May 14 and at Eldora Speedway on May 15-16, providing continuity for the rest of his rookie season and opportunities to score points at two marquee dirt tracks.
