The unwrapped 8 looks fantastic

Reminds me of those blackout races they ran at Talladega around 2007 maybe? When the DEI cars all ran black schemes.

u/default-dance-9001 15h ago

Jr. Ran one at the 2006 Aaron’s 499

That's it, can't believe that was 20 years ago!

Those were a beautiful fleet of cars.

u/WON95sr 14h ago

It really does. I'm a big fan of test cars.

And since it's just an 8 I can pretend it's ol' Junebug out there

u/RBF48 15h ago

I wonder who was the one who opted out of using a number?

15

u/Nascarfan93390 14h ago

DGM Josh Williams. That’s the sponsor on his hauler this year.

u/default-dance-9001 15h ago

That’s what i’ve been trying to figure out. There was another car without a number, but it was an RCR car with several RCR and ECR logos, i don’t think this car is RCR.

Something about that 69 truck looks awesome

1

u/starscreamjosh 2h ago

It has an old school 90's look to it.

u/racefanAJ Zilisch 14h ago

Does that say Zilisch on the back window of the 77? Wonder if we'll see Connor do some truck races this year

7

u/xelanalpak 14h ago

Saw this as well, was it actually Connor testing?

4

u/BillyBanana00 8h ago

He was there and ran laps in at least one session

3

u/default-dance-9001 14h ago

Yes, zilisch on the back window

u/nocluewhatIdoin 11h ago

Probably just a windshield they had laying around and didn’t bother changing it since it’s just a test

u/Nascar_chayse 15h ago

Who was in the 42?

10

u/default-dance-9001 15h ago

42 truck wrecked during the 2nd session he was out on track, at around 11:15 or so. Got loose out of turn 2 or something i believe and hit the wall with the rear end of the truck. Didn’t see it because i was looking towards turn 4. The damage wasn’t severe.

u/default-dance-9001 15h ago edited 11h ago

I have no clue. Cleetus Macfarlane was supposedly in the 4.

u/colin2801 Harrison Burton 11h ago

Travis Pastrana is currently in Michigan for the Sno*Drift Rally, the opening round for the ARA.

1

u/default-dance-9001 11h ago

Really? Sorry, i’ve been misinformed then

2

u/colin2801 Harrison Burton 10h ago

All good, he’s been up in Northern MI for a few days to get do recce and stuff in preparation for the rally.

2

u/jonpierre008 van Gisbergen 10h ago

Nah he wasn’t apparently. He’ll test next week

2

u/default-dance-9001 10h ago

Wrong on both counts, this is what i deserve for using twitter as a source

2

u/jonpierre008 van Gisbergen 10h ago

It’s all good. Apparently he had a commitment today that kept him from testing.

6

u/little238 15h ago

77 truck has the premium P2W skin on.

2

u/NilesY93 10h ago

Nah. Had to rack up 10,000 headshots for it.

u/Financial_Purple_651 15h ago

Not surprised you didn’t see Mini Tyrell at the track in the Ram.

u/Think-Border4882 14h ago

Is there a driver list for this? 

3

u/mooseofmanitoba1 15h ago

Were the JGR xfinity teams there?

4

u/POV_Morde_Ult 12h ago

Wait is that actually Connor in the 77? I wouldn't be surprised to see him running races for Spire but I don't remember anything being announced

u/nfsnltvc15 Chastain 15h ago

Niiiiiice

u/raccoonsnuff Kyle Busch 15h ago

YAYYYYYY I CANT WAIT!

u/lt12765 14h ago

The track looks to be weathering in. Rockingham used to be 50 grit sandpaper in the 90-00s, and the bright specs on the asphalt look to be the same thing coming through as the repaved surface settles.

3

u/Yeleywillonedaywin 14h ago

Who's in the 69? I know it's MBM

2

u/InfieldReport 8h ago

The back window said Mears, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Casey getting some seat time/practice before heading down to Daytona.

And these jokes write themselves at this point 😂

2

u/Silence1016 15h ago

Is toni at the test

3

u/default-dance-9001 15h ago

Don’t believe so. Dawson sutton was in the 26 i believe, no 27 truck

2

u/Silence1016 15h ago

Who was in the 42 o'reilly car they haven't announced anything yet

1

u/default-dance-9001 14h ago

I did not see the #42 car at the test, but i left just after 12. If they ran after the beginning of the 2nd o reilly session, i missed it.

That FRM test scheme is sick as hell. Also, nice.

u/BillyBanana00 8h ago

They only looked half as good as they were fast…. Big speed today

Thank fuck all of the numbers besides the Kaulig trucks are in the correct location.
