Good to see Austin Theriualt here, it'd be nice if he was able to race
ARCA again

Taylor Stricklin had a stylish car with family connections for this
special throwback race. His late model was badged as a Buick, complete
with an early 1990s Regal grill decal, and painted in the blue-and-white
Raybestos paint scheme his father Hut Stricklin drove in the NASCAR
Winston Cup series for Taylor's granduncle Bobby Allison back in 1991.

I'm glad to see Setzer back in the series and picking up his first win
of the year.

The last time the CARS Tour visited Hickory in May some heated on track
antics late in the race involving Brandon Setzer and Raphael Lessard led
to Setzer trying to start a fight in the pits post-race and getting
suspended for it. After missing the last two races because of that
Setzer returned to the tour here and with a much calmer drive and better
attitude took advantage of Bubba Pollard's mechanical problems to take a
victory in his comeback race. Ironically in this special throwback race
where numerous drivers had retro paint schemes from stock car racing's
past Setzer won in his red #6 Ford that just had its normal, modern scheme.

I thought that was quite a harsh punishment for him, especially
considering the incident wasn't just one-sided. But glad to see him get
some redemption for that incident.

Ryan Mathews sighting! Too bad he was a DNQ.

Car:
Jared Fryar- Chevrolet

Fryer ran an all-black throwback scheme for this one to honor his
grandfather, short track legend Freddy Fryar. It even boasted a large
mock sponsorship for Adcox-Kirby Chevrolet. The car specifically
replicated one Freddy drove back in 1965. While the car had a Chevrolet
SS late model body on it the car was branded as Chevrolet "Bel Air."

Corey Heim changed his car from a #78 Toyota to a #28 Ford for this
race, a fitting switch since his throwback scheme was the famous
white-and-black "Battlestar" paint scheme Davey Allison made famous in
the 1980s. It even had a large pretend sponsorship decals for Havoline.

A write up by The Charlotte Observer reveled that Amber Balcaen landed a
once race deal in 2018 with Kyle Busch Motorsports in exchange for
signing on to CMT's yet to air reality show 'Racing Wives'. This appears
to be that race. So the owner of the #4B is KBM.

Interesting. I hadn't heard of that deal. Only made it 19 laps though
before a crash.

@11 She had a tire go down after contact with another car. Kind of sucks
that she didn't get much of a chance to show what she can do in the car
