He only managed a best finish of 22nd at Milwaukee Mile and a best start of 18th at Dover International Speedway.

Kevin Hamlin and David Stremme both made starts in the truck so that they could get seat time. Lagasse made ten races before sponsorship troubles forced him out of the ride. His best finish was 18th at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Lagasse spent 2007 driving two races for Ganassi Racing in the #41 Wrigley's Juicy Fruit car in the Busch Series, posting two top-fifteen qualifying efforts but failing to finish higher than 34th. He also drove one Truck race for Xpress Motorsports at Dover, finishing twenty-first. He will drive the #20 Ford for JTG Racing in the Truck Series in 2008, with sponsorship from The Nicholson Group.
