Ted Musgrave and team owner Jim Harris, owner of the No. 59 Team ASE/HT Motorsports Toyota Tundra, have mutually agreed to part company effective immediately. Stacy Compton will replace Musgrave for Saturday's Qwik Liner Las Vegas 350 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
"Stacy Compton will drive the No. 59 for tonight's race in Las Vegas," said HT Motorsports team manager Donny Vaden. "We will evaluate our options once we get back home and make an announcement on our driver or drivers for the rest of the season then."
Compton was HT Motorsports' first driver in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competition, competing in four races in 2001 and three races in 2002. He scored top-10 finishes in his first five starts with the team, including a fourth-place finish after starting from the pole at Phoenix in October 2001.
Compton has started 16 NCTS races in 2008 driving for the BHR-VA team for which he is a co-owner. His best qualifying effort of the season was a second at Nashville in August and his best finish is a sixth in the season opener at Daytona. Overall he has four top-10 finishes and although he's missed the last two races he stands 21st in the series championship standings.
