- Sponsor spotlight: There won’t be any issue recognizing this iconic paint scheme. STP, longtime partner of seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Richard Petty, will team up with Thad Moffitt as the fourth-generation Petty driver makes his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start. The No. 43 STP Chevrolet will feature a unique throwback to “The King” with the 1992 design, hearkening back thirty years to the start of Petty’s Fan Appreciation Tour.

- GMS/RBR Alliance: Starting this weekend in Daytona, Thad Moffitt’s No. 43 Chevrolet Silverado RST will be operated as a “co-op” truck out of the Reaume Brothers Racing shop. GMS Racing will provide technical and engineering support, and Moffitt will be behind the wheel for a multi-race schedule in 2022.
- First Start: Friday’s NextEra Energy 250 will be a big step in Thad Moffitt’s young career, as the Trinity, NC driver will attempt his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. Moffitt has spent the past number of years racing in the ARCA Menards Series, so he is more than ready to make the jump up the NASCAR ladder. – Fan Facing Appearances: Thad Moffitt will participate in a fan exclusive Q&A session at the Team Chevy booth display in the Daytona International Speedway midway on Friday, February 18th from 1:00 PM to 1:15 PM.
- TM Quote: “Coming over from the ARCA car, I think the biggest change for the truck will be how much larger the hole is that they punch in the air. My runs will definitely be greater, and I think that everything will happen a good bit faster in the truck. Ultimately, I think that restrictor plate racing is always going to be similar in the fact that you’re going to be at the mercy of other drivers. Anything can happen at Daytona, so I’m just hoping that our No. 43 STP Chevy can stay out of the mess and get a solid finish.”
