The final two races of the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season will see series director Seth Kramlich step down from his role in the sport. The change comes after Kramlich was arrested in North Carolina in the early hours of Saturday, last week (October 14).
Charged with DWI (Driving While Intoxicated), notable stock car racing journalist and FOX Sports reporter Bob Pockrass confirmed the news on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:
"NASCAR truck series director Seth Kramlich won't work the last two races this year. He was arrested early Sat morning in NC and charged with DWI. He has Dec 28 court date. Xfinity Series director Wayne Auton will sit in series director chair for truck race Saturday at Homestead."
Seth Kramlich has been an active part of the governing body ever since he joined NASCAR in 2014 after working at Evergreen Speedway. Kramlich was appointed series director in 2022, after he progressed through the ranks in the sport's hierarchy.
Brad Moran's promotion to the post of series director in the Cup Series brought on this change for Seth Kramlich, rising from being the assistant director of the third-tier nationwide series.
While Kramlich is expected to be absent from his duties, Xfinity Series managing director Wayne Auton will be filling in for Kramlich over the next two weekends. Seth Kramlich is now set to appear before the court on December 28, 2023, as the investigation around his offense moves forward.
