In 2008, Malsam made his
NASCAR debut in the
Camping World Truck Series race at
Bristol Motor Speedway. In the #41 ThunderBoats.org
Dodge owned by Carl Hartman, he would start 33rd and finished 36th. Later that year, it was announced that Malsam would run full-time in the
Truck Series in 2009 for
Bill Davis Racing. In preparation for 2009, Malsam ran the season finale at
Homestead-Miami Speedway in the No. 24
Toyota and finished 21st. Prior to the start of the 2009 season,
Bill Davis Racing closed its doors and Malsam was signed by
Randy Moss Motorsports to run the No. 81 Toyota. Over the course of the season, he earned ten top-tens, including a career best finish of fifth at
Gateway International Raceway and finished 12th in the final points standings. For the 2010 season, it was announced that Malsam would run the No. 56 Toyota for the newly formed
Kyle Busch Motorsports. After early sponsor
Talking Rain was dismissed, Toyota sponsored their
2010 Truck effort. After Malsam accepted a ride in the
Nationwide Series, KBM shut down the 56 team due to a lack of sponsorship. Malsam then made his
Nationwide Series debut at
Nashville Superspeedway, driving the
Braun Racing No. 10 car. He would finish his Nationwide debut in 11th, although his debut would be overshadowed after a 25-point penalty was given to the team by NASCAR. Malsam returned to the Truck Series in late 2010, driving the No. 25 for
Randy Moss Motorsports with Exide on board. Malsam returned at Las Vegas and subsequently ran the last three races of the season, with a best finish of tenth at the
Ford 200. It was also announced that Malsam would drive the 25 full-time in 2011. Malsam gained sponsorship from local Seattle business One Eighty, but failed to qualify at both
Daytona and Phoenix. Malsam managed to finish 29th at Darlington, but RMM withdrew the No. 25 entry at Martinsville, later shutting down the team altogether. For 2012, Malsam was tapped to drive the No. 19 Toyota full-time for
TriStar Motorsports, securing a full season sponsorship from G-Oil. He posted a best finish of sixth in the season-opening
DRIVE4COPD 300 at
Daytona International Speedway, but was released from the team in late September. In 2014, Malsam returned to NASCAR, joining
Turner Scott Motorsports to drive the No. 32 Chevrolet on a limited basis in the
Camping World Truck Series. He had two top-tens and three top-fives with a best finish of second at Talladega. ==Images==
