Stewart-Haas Racing has introduced that two of its vehicles will race at Talladega this weekend within the Marvel Bread and Previous Spice paint schemes made well-known in “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.” Like it or hate it, it’s unattainable to disclaim the affect that the 2006 sports activities comedy had on NASCAR. Whereas there have been just a few tribute liveries, a crew has by no means gone all-in and rebranded because the fictional Dennit Racing crew in all however identify.

Ryan Preece will likely be doing his greatest Ricky Bobby impression whereas driving the No. 41 Marvel Bread Ford Mustang. His teammate Chase Briscoe will likely be behind the wheel of the No. 14 Previous Spice Ford Mustang taking part in Cal Naughton Jr. on the superspeedway. As an indication of how a lot time has handed, Ryan Preece would have been 16 years outdated when the Will Ferrell-led film hit theaters. Preece stated in an announcement:

“Talladega Nights is one film that most individuals have seen and laughed with, and these actually cool paint schemes will convey again these recollections. Attending to have my teammate, Chase Briscoe, within the Previous Spice automobile makes all of it come collectively. The film stays related in spite of everything these years, and there’s no higher observe than Talladega to work along with your teammates. We’re going to have a variety of enjoyable this weekend and I hope we get the No. 41 Marvel Bread Ford Mustang in victory lane.”

Chase Briscoe, 4 years youthful than Preece, added:

“Talladega Nights is certainly one of my all-time favourite films, and I’m actually glad that Previous Spice was on board to return again to Stewart-Haas Racing. whose No. 14 automobile was as soon as sponsored by Previous Spice when it was pushed by Stewart. We couldn’t do that Talladega Nights deal with out them, and as a Tony Stewart fan who has gone on to drive his automobile, it’s actually particular to be the one to convey it again for all of the followers.”

Each Preece and Briscoe have seen success at Talladega Superspeedway. Briscoe completed 4th within the spring race earlier this week and Preece completed third there again in 2019. It gained’t take a lot to beat Ricky Bobby’s disqualification on the observe. Nonetheless, I don’t suppose both of them will likely be in a foot-race with a French Formulation 1 driver any time quickly.
