Season 1 Overview
After the TinkerChest 200, MitHJ Motorsports announced that the #70 team would switch drivers between races. Austin Theriault and Joe Nemechek were to share the ride for the remainder of the season.

Theriault qualified for Daytona in 14th. He started to push Cody Ware on the high side. He rose to 13th by lap 2. However, Corey LaJoie and Erik Jones disrupted the pack after charging toward the front. Theriault, subsequently, fell out of the top 15. Theriault avoided a wreck on lap 3, and restarted 17th. He would lose the draft by the white flag, and ended up finishing 18th.

Theriault attempted to Qualify for Bristol, but DNQ'd.

Theriault was transferred to the #79 team, but still struggled to find speed come qualifying. He would DNQ at Cardboard Raceway and at Talladega.
