C. J. Faison (born August 31, 1993) is an American professional stock car racing driver. The young man is also a respected business owner and investor. He currently competes part-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 07 Chevrolet Silverado for SS-Green Light Racing. The Felton, Delaware resident has also competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, K&N Pro Series East, and X-1R Pro Cup Series.[1]

Racing career

X-1R Pro Cup Series

Faison made one start in this series, at Orange County Speedway in 2013. Driving in the No. 6 Chevrolet and receiving funding from Little Caesars, Faison started third and finished eleventh after a crash.[2]

K&N Pro Series East

In 2011, Faison attempted four races and made three in this series.[3] In his first attempt, at South Boston Speedway, Faison failed to qualify in Rich Rudolph's No. 02 Chevrolet.[4] For the next race, at Richmond International Raceway, Faison qualified 32nd and finished in that same place in what would be his last race for Rudolph.[5] Faison returned eight races later in a family-owned team. At New Hampshire Motor Speedway, he qualified 35th but finished 34th after engine problems ended his race 45 laps in.[6] In his final appearance of the season, again with his family-owned team, he qualified fourth at Dover International Speedway, a track only 14 miles away from his hometown.[7] Once again, however, mechanical issues ended his day, as a broken shock relegated him to a 24th place finish.[8] In 2012, Faison logged a career-high nine starts, all for his family-owned team.[9] With backing from Generation Rescue and Little Caesars Pizza, he logged a pole,[10] two top-ten finishes,[11][12] and two crashes.[13][14] In 2013, Faison picked up backing from Sherwin-Williams, and recorded one top five finish and one crash in six starts.[15]

Camping World Truck Series

In 2013, Faison made his Truck debut at Dover with SS-Green Light Racing, but a crash after 61 laps ended his day. His other start in that season was at Kentucky, in SS-Green Light's No. 81 truck. He finished 19th, one lap off the pace.[16] A deal to drive Premium Motorsports' No. 94 truck in 2015 fell through. In 2016, Faison returned to SS-Green Light Racing, piloting the No. 07 truck at Dover to a 25th place finish, 10 laps down.[17]

Xfinity Series

Faison debuted in the Xfinity Series in 2015, driving JGL Racing's No. 26 Toyota Camry at Dover.[18] He started 37th and finished 23rd, six laps down.[19]
