Racing career

edit
 
Boswell drove the No. 22 car for Cunningham Motorsports at Talladega in 2016.
 
Boswell made two Truck Series starts in 2016 at Eldora and Homestead in the No. 05 as a sub for the injured John Wes Townley.

After making his ARCA debut at Nashville,[1] Mason Mitchell Motorsports announced that Boswell would run an additional six races with the team in the No. 98 car, which were the first Pocono race, Michigan, Iowa, IRP, Kentucky, and Kansas.[2] However, team owner Mason Mitchell ended up driving the car at Kansas instead. Also, he drove at Talladega in the No. 22 Dodge for Cunningham Motorsports, the car that won that race the previous year with Blake Jones driving. He would go on to earn a top-10 finish after qualifying ninth for the race.[3]

When John Wes Townley got a concussion before the Truck Series race at Eldora, Boswell was selected to fill in for him that weekend in his Athenian Motorsports team's No. 05 Chevrolet. In his series debut, he started 16th and finished 21st. Boswell ran one more race for the team at Homestead that year, when Townley was injured again, this time to his ankle. He qualified in the top-10 (starting ninth) and finished 19th and on the lead lap at the end of the race. That race ended up being Athenian Motorsports' last race because they ended up shutting down over the offseason when Townley announced his retirement from racing.

Personal life

edit

He is from Watkinsville, Georgia, which is the same town where John Wes Townley is from, which is the reason Townley picked him to fill in for him at the truck race at Eldora in 2016 when he was injured with a concussion.

He decided not to race in 2015 and instead attend college full-time[4] at the University of North Georgia.[1]

In 2017, he joined the Shade Foundation as an ambassador for their foundation, which raises awareness to children about skin cancer and sun safety.[5]

He is not related to current NASCAR crew chief and former driver Richard Boswell.
