Since then, Chicago Pneumatic has gone on to assist in many American engineering marvels, including the Apollo space mission to the moon and the erection of the World Trade Center.

“It’s pretty cool to see CP Compressors come back to Front Row Motorsports and support our program,” said Gilliland. “I can’t wait to get to Atlanta after not really getting the finish that we wanted at Las Vegas. We have a cool CP Compressors scheme and it’s the Fr8 Auctions 200, so it’s a big weekend for FRM. I’m ready to get to the track and have a good run on Saturday for everyone.”

Mooresville, NC (March 9, 2021) – It was announced today that Dan-O’s Seasoning will return as a sponsor of Spencer Boyd in 2021. As part of the history-making race at Daytona International Speedway Road Course in 2020, Boyd drove a green Dan-O’s Seasoning truck representing the brand’s original flavor. This year’s truck will be red promoting the spicy version of the seasoning.

“I use Dan-O’s on a weekly basis,” noted Boyd. “My nutritionist keeps my diet to a lot of chicken and fish. Thankfully Dan-O’s is low in sodium but big in flavor so my meals aren’t boring. I use it so much they even made a bottle with my face on it last year!”

Dan-O’s Seasoning is made with just the good stuff in life: all-natural unrefined sea salt, and the best herbs and spices that can be found. Spices and herbs come first, none of that fake stuff like gluten, artificial chemicals, sugar or GMO’s. Unlike other seasoning blends, they’ve cut sodium to just 50 mg per serving, so that you can stay healthy while loving what you cook.

The namesake of the seasoning, Dan-O himself loves the interaction with NASCAR fans, “I spend a lot of time on social media platforms like TikTok and Facebook and love all the comments I get from Spencer’s fans. It will be fun to see the reaction to this Spicy Silverado Spencer will be driving at Pocono.”

Spencer and Dan-O did some cooking together last year and plan to do even more this year. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to stay in and cook at home. From simple recipes that can be found at www.danosseasoning.com/recipes/ to all day barbequing weekend events, Dan-O’s has you covered. The cooking duo wants fans to submit their Dan-O’s Seasoning recipes for a chance at Spencer and Dan-O cooking the best recipe in one of their videos.

Dan-O’s logo first appearance on the Youngs Motorsports No. 20 Chevrolet Silverado was at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last Friday while the debut of the ‘Spicy Truck’ will be later this season at Pocono Raceway.

To try Dan-O’s seasoning, ask your local retailer about Dan-O’s or shop online at – www.danosseasoning.com.

For the fourth time in Toyota history, Nemechek led a Tundra sweep of the top-five finishing positions in this evening’s race (World Wide Technology Raceway – April 2006, Talladega Superspeedway – October 2009, Las Vegas Motor Speedway – September 2014).

TOYOTA QUOTES

JOHN HUNTER NEMECHEK, No. 4 Mobil 1 Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports
Finishing Position: 1st

You won the race and beat the boss. How was that finish for you?

“I just can’t thank everyone at Toyota, Jack Irving (TRD), Kyle Busch, Uncle Eric (Phillips, crew chief) for this opportunity. It means a lot to me. Mobil 1 on board, coming back to the Truck Series, that was the plan, that was the goal. We came into this year with the hashtag here for wins and we are here for wins. I definitely think experience paid off tonight. We did an amazing job. I can’t thank Fire Alarm Services, ROMCO, all of our partners for all of there help. Thank you fans for being here. It’s awesome to have you guys back. I can’t wait to go celebrate.”

Once you were clear, what were you thinking?

“He was faster than me in stage two, so I really didn’t know. It was all about using our truck to the best we could possibly do, wrapping the bottom and taking the dirty air away. He had to run up and it created more lap time for him. Overall, it was an awesome victory. I wish my wife Taylor was here. Thank you for all of the support, my family, everyone involved. She had to stay home because we are about to be on baby watch. It’s awesome.”

What does it mean to get your first Truck Series win driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports?

“It’s an awesome day. The goal here for us was to come here and win. We’ve been close the last two weeks and we have fast race trucks. I can’t thank everyone enough – Jack Irving (TRD) from Toyota, Mobil 1, Fire Alarm Services, Kyle (Busch, team owner) for giving me this opportunity. The opportunity to come here and race in the Truck Series for Kyle Busch Motorsports is an amazing opportunity and we’re capitalizing on that. We want to be the dominant one this year and we want to win as many races as we can. It’s awesome to get it kicked off here in Vegas and beat the boss.”

How crazy were the restarts during the race?

“They definitely were. Overall, it was an amazing day. Our restarts were on point all day. Just a lot of fun and that’s all we can ask for. We’re here to have fun, we’re here for wins and we’re doing it.”

KYLE BUSCH, No. 51 Cessna Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports
Finishing Position: 2nd

What was missing at the end of the race to contend with John Hunter Nemechek?

“We just didn’t have enough in our Cessna Tundra. They were a little bit better than us so not sure what differences they had. I was just really tight and really rough over the bumps, trying to get through the bumps. Looking at the splitter wear, it was really rough on the splitter and wearing through it. We were battling some little things, but overall our truck was still fast. It was cool to come home one-two.”

Having your team truck win, does that help take away the sting of not winning yourself?

“Certainly, it does. Anytime you finish second to a team truck, you know how good the equipment is and it’s nice to see the equipment getting full potential and running up front. I’m exciting to have John Hunter (Nemechek) this year. When we had the opportunity to talk last year and to bring him in and to have Eric Phillips (crew chief) back on board, that was going to be a winning combination I felt like and here we are already reaping the benefits. I hate I finished second obviously, I want to win, but as a team owner, I get paid the same whether they win or I win and it’s nothing so I’m all good.”

AUSTIN HILL, No. 16 Ibaraki Toyopet Toyota Tundra, Hattori Racing Enterprises
Finishing Position: 3rd

What was missing to contend with the Kyle Busch Motorsports Tundras tonight?

“You can see right there, our left front (tire) is corded really bad. We had a good night. We finally got on the right track. Those first two races didn’t go the way we wanted them to so this is a good way to bounce back, but it always stings a little bit when you come to a place that you’ve had success at and you don’t get the job done. Scott (Zipadelli, crew chief) and everybody back at the shop, they did a really good job bringing a really fast Toyota Tundra. All in all, we just came up short tonight. We just got too tight when the tires started cording and started chattering the left front. Can’t thank everybody at Ibraraki Toyopet enough for coming on board. Everything that all these guys do in Japan for us is a really big deal with everything going on. It’s really cool to see that. We’ll bounce back and go to Atlanta, a place that we’ve had some good runs at as well and see if we can get the job done there as well.”

STEWART FRIESEN, No. 52 Halmar International Toyota Tundra, Halmar-Friesen Racing
Finishing Position: 4th

What was missing at the end of the race for your team?

“We just lacked a little grip on the restarts. It was good and great night for the Halmar International group. Halmar has been awesome behind us and one of the best sponsors in the business. Thanks to Chris Larson and everybody at Halmar International, everybody at TRD (Toyota Racing Development) for the help. We were close with our Tundra. We’re back in the top-five racing. From where this team was a year ago to where we are is really awesome. Got some momentum, good points day and just lacked a little grip on the restarts.”

MATT CRAFTON, No. 88 Menards/Slim Jim Toyota Tundra, ThorSport Racing
Finishing Position: 5th

Can you take us through your race tonight?

“Just the restarts killed me to be totally honest. I could get to the 16 (Austin Hill) there at the end. I could get to his bumper and I could push him for a second and then he would get out on me. We just didn’t have the two lap run speed that we needed. We needed some long green flag runs and I think we would have been a lot better off. This Menards Toyota Tundra, not too terrible. Just keep working on it. Atlanta, we’re going over there in a couple weeks and that’s my favorite race track that we go to on the circuit so really, really looking forward to that one.”

LAS VEGAS, Nev.: Bucked Up, a nationwide leader in the supplement industry, announced today that they have partnered with NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) standout Christian Eckes for tonight’s Bucked Up 200 at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway.

The Bucked Up logo will appear on the television panel of Eckes’ No. 98 ThorSport Racing Toyota for the 134-lap contest.
The relationship between Eckes and Bucked Up was introduced by Bucked Up branded athlete Joe Graf Jr., who carries the Bucked Up colors in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, including this weekend at LVMS for tomorrow’s Alsco Uniforms 300.

Eckes and Graf Jr. have a long-time friendship and have been competitors for the past 11 years, including launching their careers in Bandolero cars at Bethel (N.Y.) Motor Speedway. Since then, both drivers have gone on to blossom in other arenas of Motorsports competition, including the ARCA Menards Series – where both have visited Victory Lane.

This weekend, their relationship once again comes full circle.

“We are thrilled to partner with Christian and ThorSport Racing tonight at Las Vegas Motor Speedway,” said Bucked Up co-founder Ryan Gardner. “Joe (Graf Jr.) and his family have always spoke very highly of Christian. When the opportunity was presented to have our name on a truck in a race that we are supporting, it was a no-brainer.”

Eckes will make his second Truck Series start of the season with ThorSport Racing. The Middletown, N.Y. native enters his fourth start at the 1.5-mile oval on the heels of a top-10 finish in the series’ most recent race at the Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway Road Course last month.

Eckes, 20, has two top-10 finishes in Sin City, including a track-best third after winning the pole in 2019.

“Really looking forward my first race with Bucked Up,” said Eckes. “Joe (Graf Jr.) and I have been friends for a long time and it’s pretty cool to both have the same sponsor at the same race track on the same weekend.

“I’m excited to be back in a ThorSport Racing truck this weekend and hope for a strong run in our No. 98 Protect The Harvest | Curb Records | Bucked Up Toyota Tundra.”

Graf Jr. who is off to a solid start in the Xfinity Series this year with SS GreenLight Racing, says he’s proud of Bucked Up’s expanded commitment to the sport.

“This is a great weekend for Bucked Up and I’m proud that Christian and I are a part of it,” he said.

“Everyone at Bucked Up has really put forth a strong effort to not only strengthen our partnership on the Xfinity side – but branch out in the sport of NASCAR where we collectively together can have an impact. It’s going to be a fun weekend in Las Vegas.”

Bucked Up announced this week that Buffalo Bills running back Antonio Williams will be the grand marshal for tonight’s race. Williams was announced in February as an investor in Graf Jr.’s program and has since become another member of the Bucked Up family.

Enfinger, 36, will make his 10th NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start at Las Vegas and eyes his second victory at the 1.5-mile track after earning the victory in September 2018.

“It would be great to earn another top-10 finish on Friday night and keep the momentum on our side ahead of Atlanta in a few weeks.”
