Timeline

On January 9, 2019, GMS announced the team had parted ways with Sauter. He later rejoined ThorSport to drive the No. 13. Sauter won his first race of the season at Dover in May. At Iowa, Sauter was parked by NASCAR for wrecking Austin Hill under caution on lap 139 of 200. As a result of the incident, he was suspended for the following week's race at Gateway. Myatt Snider was announced to substitute for Sauter at Gateway. Sauter was eliminated from the playoffs at Las Vegas when he finished 29th after experiencing an engine failure that also plagued three other trucks. Ilmor, the manufacturer of the engines, took responsibility for the NT1 engines that suffered from severe detonation due to the combination of the high engine load condition combined with the extreme weather conditions in Las Vegas. Despite Ilmor's announcement, NASCAR denied ThorSport's request to reinstate Sauter and Grant Enfinger into the playoffs. At Talladega, Sauter appeared to have won the race, but was penalized and placed in 14th for blocking Riley Herbst below the yellow line on the final lap, effectively giving the win to Spencer Boyd.

In May 2018, Sauter returned to the Nationwide (now Xfinity) Series at Dover; he drove the No. 23 GMS car in place of the suspended Spencer Gallagher. He ran the race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway as well in the summer, finishing 19th.

While competing full-time in the Truck Series, Sauter raced several times in his home state of Wisconsin in 2015. He appeared at the Slinger Nationals at Slinger Super Speedway, won an ARCA Midwest Tour race at Madison International Speedway, the Larry Detjens Memorial Race at State Park Speedway, and set a new Super Late Model track record at an ARCA Midwest Tour race at Wisconsin International Raceway.

On October 15, 2015, Sauter announced that he would be joining GMS Racing for 2016. Sauter won in his debut with GMS at Daytona. In the Chase, Sauter won at Martinsville and Texas to advance to the championship 4. Sauter went on to win the championship at Homestead, finishing 3rd in the race. Sauter had a successful 2017 season, winning Dover in early June and had a couple stage wins and had been consistent all year long. He won his second race of the year at Chicagoland in September. Sauter won Texas and Phoenix, which advanced him to the final round at Homestead Miami. He finished 3rd in the race but Christopher Bell, who finished runner-up, took the championship and Johnny Sauter finished 2nd in the standings by just one point. Sauter opened up 2018 by winning the Daytona race for the third time in his career. He would subsequently win at Dover, Charlotte, Texas, Bristol, and Martinsville and finish 4th in points.

In 2013, Sauter started the season with his first win at Daytona International Speedway in the NextEra Energy Resources 250. It was also Toyota's 100th Camping World Truck Series win. On April 6, Sauter won the Kroger 250 at Martinsville Speedway.

His best start in five races was a 23rd at Loudon, and he also missed a race at Kansas Speedway.

Childress hired Sauter to drive the No. 30 AOL-sponsored Chevrolet in Winston Cup full-time in 2004. After thirteen races, he was replaced by Dave Blaney, but later attempted two races in Childress' No. 33 car, but did not qualify for either of them.
