Dustin was hand-picked by Austin Dillon (driver of the #3 Truck) and has the privilege of working on the #3 Truck team for RCR. He is the tire specialist/front tire carrier for that team and he is sooo ready for this season to start. Their sponsor is Bass Pro Shops which they are all excited about and their first race is at Daytona Motor Speedway on Friday, February 12th. It will be on the SPEED channel at 8pm EST…so watch for Dustin! He will actually be doing the catch-can for this race only and then front tire carrier from then on out. He has been working out 5 days a week and sometime 2 times a day trying to get muscled up for carrying those ridiculously heavy tires – I think he said they’re about 80 lbs. each with the wheels and everything. Swinging those things while jumping off the wall isn’t an easy task so the team has been practicing their pit-stops non-stop for the past several weeks. He is exhausted but knows his hard work will pay off.
Dustin does a lot of different jobs at the shop and one of which is decaling. Here are some pictures of the new truck and I think he did a GREAT job…it looks pretty sharp, doesn’t it?
That is SO great for Dustin! You must be proud of his accomplishments.
ReplyDeleteAnd if he gets any extra "Bass Pro Shop" logo stuff, I know a little boy who happens to love that store ;-)
We could have used his help putting on the firebird decals. Chris
