RBR (Ricky Benton Racing)

[Spotter22]

The guys that run the 92 in the truck series will be attempting to make the Daytona 500 this year. Ricky the owner, Mike Hester the crew chief are very good friends of mine and I'd like to wish them all the best and hopefully this will give you guys an underdog to pull for. They got a Ford from Petty and will have Roush Yates power so they have a good shot to make it.

 

[jws926]

Good luck to them.

 

[2 Sweet]

Any word on the driver yet?

 

[racingfan7]

Underrated team in the Truck Series so hopefully they can maybe make it to Cup competitively.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Are there 40 cars entered?

 

[Spotter22]

Any word on the driver yet?

Yes but I dont want to put it out there until they do, they may still be working on minor details and then they will announce it.

 

[Spotter22]

Are there 40 cars entered?

I'm sure at least that many

 

[Kiante]

Regan Smith will probably be the guy...

 

[DanicaFreak]

danica?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Carl Edwards, right?

Is this the guy that won the lottery and bought a truck team?

No, Ricky started in late models then went to the Hooters Pro Cup Series then on to the trucks.

I will look for him on February 23rd in Daytona when I am at the Truck race. The Trucks at Daytona are really a good show.

That raises a question: will RBR field just a Cup car, or their usual truck too?

Im not sure they are gonna run the truck, all eggs might be in the Cup race.

Just replied to that.

 

[NascarUnderdogs]

Just replied to that.

wait run just 1 cup race,and not the truck? does that mean just at Daytona?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

wait run just 1 cup race,and not the truck? does that mean just at Daytona?

That would be my uninformed guess. 40th place money from Daytona will go a long way in the Truck series.

 

[Spotter22]

Miss Daytona but then run the other races they have scheduled. They arent full time.

winning the 500 would be close to winning the lottery if they can pull it off. It would really do wonders for their season.

It would and stranger things have happened but a top 25 would be pretty sweet.

Especially the fact they are running on a shoestring budget. Remember when Klingerman got into about two or three wrecks and that absolutely destroyed the team budget. That's the reason why they let him go, PK was fast, but crash happy.

Not a good mix for a really small team.

Then he won for an even smaller team

 

[Kiante]

Then he won for an even smaller team

No doubt, but RBR had to miss a lot of races in '16 because of the wrecks.

 

[Spotter22]

Then he won for an even smaller team

Kligerman didnt win for RBR

 

[NascarUnderdogs]

Kligerman didnt win for RBR

no he won for Henderson,wasnt it? i said he got releases then won with an even smaller team then RBR...either way i wish EVERYONE luck no matter who it is, we need more cars,trucks, drivers,sponsors on track

 

[Spotter22]

Gotcha. I misunderstood.

 

[jws926]

@Spotter22 , when you say they got a car, do you mean they have just one?, and will going to Daytona with just a primary?, or they going to have a backup?

Good question. I'll ask.

 

[Spotter22]

Not Regan

 

[Team Penske]

Not Regan

Matt??

 

[Spotter22]

Matt??

Nah, Matt would take too much money.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Matt??

Get real

 

[Team Penske]

I was watching a show where the laid off butler took a position as a footman just to stay in the game.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Could the driver be one David Gilliland?

Overlooking the difference between TV shows and reality, butlers rarely have the remains of a 7-figure salary.to see themselves through.

 

[Spotter22]

Yep Its DG. Good luck boys!

 

[StandOnIt]

BOOM:

D.Gilliland is going to be busy, he is driving Kyle Busch's truck at Daytona also.
