Cody E. Erickson (born September 22, 1988) is an American professionalstock car racing driver. He last competed part-time in theNASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 41Chevrolet Silverado forCram Racing Enterprises.
A dirt, ATV, and snowmobile driver for at least ten years prior to 2014,[1] Erickson attempted to qualify for theNASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at the dirt track ofEldora that same year, driving the No. 82 forEmpire Racing. He came up just short of making the race after not finishing well enough in the last-chance qualifier. After he failed to make the field, the team invited him back for a pavement start atMartinsville that October, which he did qualify for, finishing 23rd in the race.
Empire put Erickson in theirARCA Racing Series No. 82 car atSalem in September ofthat year, which was his debut in the series.[1] He finished in the top-15 in his first ARCA start.
Erickson returned to Eldora to try to qualify for the race there again in 2015, driving a second truck for Empire due toSean Corr being in the No. 82 that Erickson had driven the prior year. The second truck for the team used the No. 35 with leased owner points fromWin-Tron Racing. Empire did this instead of fielding a separate truck of their own so Erickson could have a better chance of qualifying (which he successfully did). He went on to finish 25th in the race.[2]
On September 15, 2020, it was announced that Erickson would return to the now-Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series for the first time in five years, driving the No. 41Cram Racing Enterprises Chevrolet atBristol.[3] He would later drive the No. 01Chevrolet forFast Track Racing in the 2020ARCA Menards Series West finale, where he finished 19th. Erickson returned to the No. 41 truck team for the newdirt race at Bristol in 2021.[4]
Erickson works as a farmer, an owner of two businesses, and an owner-driver of a dirt racing team in his hometown ofUlen, Minnesota. He graduated from both theUniversity of Northwestern Ohio with a degree in High Performance and Chassis Fabrication, and Northland Technical College (in Minnesota) with a degree in Farm Business Management.[1]
