# Josh Krug

Josh Krug (born January 14, 1986) is an American professional stock car racing and dirt track racing driver who has previously competed in the ARCA Racing Series.

## Racing career

Krug began his professional racing career in 2003, driving dirt late models, where he would win several feature races. In the following year, he made the transition to asphalt racing, driving in the ASA Late Model Series, where he won six straight late model races at I-70 Speedway. In October of that year, he was given the opportunity to participate in the Race for the Ride at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Krug was one of the final ten drivers out of four-hundred candidates testing for Roush Racing at North Wilkesboro and Darlington Raceway the following month.
In 2005, Krug announced that he would run a limited schedule in the ASA Late Model Series, along with select starts in the ARCA Re/Max Series after purchasing a car previously owned by A. J. Foyt Racing. He ran the No. 39 Chevrolet for his ARCA debut at Kentucky Speedway, where he would qualify twelfth but finish three laps down in 21st. He made three more starts that year, failing to finish in all of them. He ran another partial schedule in the series in 2006, scoring two top-tens in five starts with a best finish of seventh at Michigan Speedway. He also attempted two NASCAR Busch Series race late into the year, driving the No. 37 Chevrolet for Vision Racing, but failed to qualify at both Richmond International Raceway and Phoenix International Raceway.
In 2007, Krug attempted to run the full ARCA schedule, driving the No. 23 Chevrolet/Pontiac for Hixson Motorsports. After failing to qualify for the season opening race at Daytona International Speedway, Krug made the remaining races on his way to finish tenth in the final points standings with four top-ten finishes with a best result of fifth at the Milwaukee Mile. He also attempted to make the Busch Series race at Kansas Speedway, driving the No. 61 Chevrolet for Brian Carter Racing, where he would ultimately fail to qualify.
After 2007, Krug has since transitioned back to late model and dirt racing, winning three Cornhusker Classic titles at I-80 Speedway.
