I initially posted here that Ryan Truex would be racing the same car his older brother, Martin Truex Jr., had used last October to finish second in the Nationwide race at Charlotte. While that car will be at the track on Friday, he certainly hopes it doesn't make it off the truck, as it will serve as the team's back-up car.
The Pastrana/Waltrip team has decided to bring a new Toyota to Charlotte for Ryan in his quest to capture the $100,000 Nationwide bonus he qualified for at Richmond, earlier this year. The team, however, will use the same set-up that allowed Martin to run so well.
The most surprising element to all of this is the team and driver have yet to secure a sponsor for the race at Charlotte. As one of only four drivers eligible for the bonus, Ryan, will certainly generate a tremendous amount of media exposure, before and during the race.
