MOORESVILLE, N.C. (July 8, 2019) \u2013 <\/span><\/strong>Ryan Truex will ride into Kentucky Speedway this weekend with a fresh car design. JR Motorsports and the No. 8 team have joined forces with MULTI-PLATINUM superstar duo Florida Georgia Line to create a fresh spin on an old-school look with the classic red and gold paint scheme. The design inspiration came from the timeless liveries of motorsport legends Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Tim Richmond.<\/p>\n

Keeping fans revved-up, FGL is celebrating the team-up with a brand new t-shirt for their fan-favorite tune \u201cSpeed of Love\u201d as featured on their current album <\/span>CAN\u2019T SAY I AIN\u2019T COUNTRY<\/a><\/em><\/strong>(BMLG Records). The one-of-a-kind shirt is their take on the Chevrolet car, and is available now at their merch store <\/span>ShopFGL.com<\/a><\/strong>. Fans can use promo code GORYAN20 for a special discount now through Friday, July 19.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been anxious to get back behind the wheel of this No. 8 car ever since we had such a strong run back in Phoenix,\u201d Truex said. \u201cTo be able to do it with Florida Georgia Line and ShopFGL.com is awesome.  We have a great relationship with FGL\u2019s Tyler (Hubbard) and Brian (Kelley), who are currently on their CAN\u2019T SAY I AIN\u2019T COUNTRY TOUR.  I think everyone agrees that Country music and NASCAR fans are synonymous with each other, which makes this a perfect relationship. I love the look of this throwback scheme and can\u2019t wait to unload at Kentucky.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Kentucky event marks Truex\u2019s second race of the 2019 season. His lone start for JRM came in March when he drove the No. 8 to the team\u2019s season-best finish, a second-place effort at ISM Raceway in Phoenix.  <\/p>\n

The No. 8 is currently ranked 12th<\/sup> <\/span>in owner points on the strength of four top-five and 11 top-10 finishes.<\/p>\n

The Alsco 300 at Kentucky Speedway airs on Friday, July 12 at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
