Motorsports Business Management (MBM Motorsports) and Tyler Tomassi have paired up once again for a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series entry in the Love’s RV Stop 225 at Talladega Superspeedway on Friday, October 17.
The 22-year-old Rhode Island native drove one of his best NASCAR races to date on the 2.5-mile Tricky Triangle in Pocono, securing his second-career Top 25 finish. Now he will have his first opportunity to tackle a drafting superspeedway this fall back behind the wheel of the No. 69 MBM Ford F-150.
“I am thrilled to drive in my first ever superspeedway race! Talladega has been on my bucket list to experience my whole life as a NASCAR fan. Now, not only do I get to go to this renowned track, I get to go there as a driver,” said an excited Tomassi. “I can’t thank Carl Long and the entire MBM group enough for everything. Let’s get it!”
MBM Motorsports team owner Carl Long fielded the Floridian Motorsports No. 21 truck at this track last year, an entry that Mason Maggio drove inside the Top 3 and earned a Top 20 finish. Long knows how to coach up a young driver coming to a superspeedway early in their career.
“Tyler showed us a lot at Pocono, and I am proud that our MBM team gets to field him in his first Talladega attempt. Superspeedway racing is a unique skill set that takes both talent and luck to get right. We are working hard to give Tyler everything he needs to have a great run,” said Long.
MBM has yet to finalize the primary sponsor of the No. 69 truck for the 85 racing laps around the 2.66-mile superspeedway. Interested parties can email either info@mbmmotorsports.com or tylertomassi@gmail.com.
FOX Sports 1 has live television coverage of the Love’s RV Stop 225 on Friday, October 17, beginning at 4 pm ET.
