The 22-year old Sellers is making the move from his hometown of Danville, Virginia to the home of BMR in Northern California. Last season, Sellers visited Victory Lane 15 times in 28 starts while racing in NDWS Division I primarily at South Boston (Va.) Speedway. Sellers earned the track championship and secured the title of NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series National Champion. He is the youngest driver to acquire the national title in the 24-year history of the series.
