The truck owned by the driver who threatened via Facebook to quit NASCAR over its Confederate flag ban is getting political.
Ray Ciccarelli’s No. 49 truck will be driven on Saturday at Kentucky by Tim Viens and will have the logo for President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign plastered all over it. Viens is involved with a PAC supporting Trump’s re-election bid — the same PAC that is sponsoring Corey LaJoie’s car for nine races in the Cup Series.
Viens, a driver who has never finished inside the top 20 in seven career NASCAR starts, tried to run a Trump-supporting truck before in 2020.
