Casey Roderick (born August 8, 1992 in Lawrenceville, Georgia) is an American stock car racing driver. He currently competes in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, driving the No. 24 Chevrolet for SR2 Motorsports.
Career
A native of Lawrenceville, Georgia, Roderick began his racing career in Legends car racing, competing in the Atlanta Motor Speedway's Summer Shootout Series, scoring multiple wins despite inferior equipment.[1] He moved up to late model racing in 2008, competing for Bill Elliott; he spent two years with Elliott's development-driver program,[2] which included running a number of ARCA Racing Series events in a car jointly fielded by Elliott and Phoenix Racing, scoring a pole position at Palm Beach International Raceway,[1] and a win in the series at New Jersey Motorsports Park in 2010; Roderick won the event despite starting 34th in the 35 car field.[3]
Despite the win, Roderick was released from the Elliott program at the end of 2010 in favour of Elliott's son, Chase.[2] He joined Randy Hill Racing in 2011, running four ARCA races before making his debut in the NASCAR Nationwide Series at Watkins Glen International in a car jointly fielded by RHR and Go Green Racing,[4] and the Camping World Truck Series at Michigan International Speedway with RSS Racing.[5][6]
Roderick started the 2012 season with Randy Hill Racing, driving the No. 08 in the Nationwide Series as a contender for the series' Rookie of the Year award; after two races however, a lack of sponsorship sidelined the team.[6] He returned to competition at Richmond International Raceway in late April,[7] sponsored by the West Virginia Miners baseball team,[8] but was afterwards released by RHR. Joining SR2 Motorsports with the Miners sponsorship, Roderick competed in the next three races, but once again faced sponsorship issues after the May event at Charlotte Motor Speedway.[2]
