I don't think the 2 companies have anything to do with each other. Ski Doo is BRP no?

Came in hard I think we bent the tunnel on the landing.  Yes they are separate companies but I'm here with a Ski-Doo rider so have to give him shit

LEGACY MOTOR CLUB announced that John Hunter Nemechek will drive the No. 42 NASCAR Cup Series entry when the Club transitions manufacturers from Chevrolet to Toyota in 2024.
The 26-year-old driver will join teammates Erik Jones and LEGACY M.C. co-owner Jimmie Johnson, who plans to drive a limited schedule once again in 2024.

Makes sense but surprised Chevy let them put him in the car.

All set up.  Need to have 2 tankers here because we have all 4 series this weekend.  ARCA uses GTX 260 unleaded and trucks, xfinity and cup uses E15.

How many gallons do they hold?

Not sure of the gallons never really noticed.  The tanker on the right is the main one that goes to all the Cup races.  If it was topped off it would be over weight.  Once it's at the track a 2nd truck will come in and we do a fuel transfer to top it off and by time we use the fuel for the weekend it's within weight.  This weekend we have to do a back to back as we call it.  The tanker on the left has the GTX 260 for ARCA and also E15 so we'll draw off that for the ARCA and Truck sessions of the weekend.  Saturday morning we'll break that one down and he'll leave and we'll draw off of the main tanker.

Do the teams pay for their own fuel or is it like Sunoco donation for the advertising at the track

Cup, Xfinity and Trucks are no cost.  ARCA use to be no cost but they really abused that.

A single car team would take over 90 gallons before they went on the track.  That was getting high visibility as we record the amount of gallons each team takes in all series.  We took notice of teams taking the fuel back to their trailers and dumping them in tanks only to just return to get more fuel.  ARCA now gets 33 gallons at no cost per team.  Anything above that they pay.
