Coaching and mentoring will be provided by current veteran driver and 3 time ARS Most Popular Driver Todd Bowsher.

The New Bremen, Ohio native comes to Jack Bowsher & Associates Motorsports with an already impressive history. With 150 go kart feature wins, numerous WKA (World Karting Association) victories and several Rumble Series wins to his credit.

“We are really excited to have a young racer like Drew come on board with us, he’s going to learn a lot about these big stock cars.” said Jack Bowsher & Associates driver Todd Bowsher. “ This is a different role for me and I’m looking forward to sharing my experience and knowledge with him and helping to develop his talent.”

Todd Bowsher whose racing roots run deep, is the son of stock car legend Jack Bowsher and will continue as driver of the familiar #21 in the ARCA RE/MAX Series.

“I’m excited about this opportunity.” said Charlson. “I’m ready to go, I wish it was spring already so we could get going. I just wanna race.”

Charlson will see plenty of on track action between now and his first ARCA RE/MAX Series test session as he will continue to run a full schedule in the USAC Kenyon Midget Series.
