No, the driver is Robby Lyons, a successful legends car driver from Florida. From what I read on ARCA's website, Randy MacDonald will be helping the team at the open test at Daytona at the end of next week.

I think it's Zippy, He said he had a ride lined up with MacDonald plus he is a Legends driver.

That's me haha.

I was actually driving to my family's house in Florida when they sent out the press release. Great timing for social media… Lol.

Randy Macdonald merged his team with Rick Ware Racing after Timmy Hill beat out Jason Bowles in the Nationwide Rookie of the year battle, or something along those lines. Randy owns the motors and Rick owns the cars. He has a Dodge but with the new engine rules this car's whole package just lined up better than running the car we initially considered.

Nonetheless, this is a dream come true for me. I'll definitely be slapping a TBK sticker on there. :p

And I guess everyone knows my real name now. :flag:

Here's to another year of getting his time disallowed at Daytona, throwing a hissyfit with the ARCA officials, and threatening to never race again.

Nice! Congrats zippy!

For some reason this news feels like it pulls the forum together. I know we have a bunch of real racers here, but this is cool to see someone moving up the ladder right before our eyes. Best of luck!

Regarding ARCA (and K&N Pro by extension) using the Gen6 bodies: Are they going to do a '07 COT-style phase-in where certain races will use Gen6 only and the rest Gen4 only, or will all races have a mix of both Gen6 and Gen4, similar to BGN in 1988 or early 80's ARCA?

Also, a Gen6 showcar from Mason Mitchell:

Teams will be able to run the new bodies at any races alongside the older bodies, mixed together, the only exceptions will be in ARCA on the larger tracks where they will only be allowed to run the old body styles this year.

I cant wait to see a gen 6 car running side by side with a Dodge.

This gonna be like the Le Mans series with different classes of vehicles? I cant imagine anyone riding around in a older car will be able to keep up with anyone in a Gen6
