Ryan Preece and Chase Briscoe are all set to Shake and Bake the Cup Series Playoffs this weekend at Talladega.
Months ago, Stewart-Haas Racing’s Nos. 14 and 41 cars sat unsponsored for the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Chase Briscoe, driver of the No. 14 Ford, had an idea: “We should just do ‘Talladega Nights.’” And now that wish is being granted.
On Sunday, Ryan Preece’s No. 41 Ford will feature the classic white and blue Wonder Bread paint made famous by Will Ferrall’s Ricky Bobby in “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” the 2006 hit NASCAR comedy. Briscoe will don the Old Spice red and blue on his Ford Mustang, paying homage to John C. Reilly’s Cal Naughton Jr.’s car from the feature film.
