Club Wyndham has been affiliated with Team Ambassador Richard Petty for more than two decades, as “The King” is a Club Wyndham timeshare owner and frequents various resorts and vacation destinations several times a year. This is the second time the Club Wyndham branding will be featured prominently on a racecar, as they were featured on co-owner Jimmie Johnson’s No. 84 for Circuit of the Americas, where he was collected in a first lap accident. Club Wyndham is the nation’s largest vacations club, and will be the primary partner for Johnson’s Coca-Cola 600 entry in May. – Dirt Runs In The Family: Erik Jones isn’t the only driver in the household. Jones’ fiancée, Holly Shelton, was an accomplished dirt racer in her own right, competing in midgets and sprint cars throughout the country. Shelton became a part of the Toyota Racing Development (TRD) program in 2018, and was able to race for Keith Kunz Motorsports, one of the most accomplished dirt midget teams in the sport. Shelton set the record for the highest-finishing result of a female with a third place finish in a USAC race at Lawrenceburg Speedway, and occasionally gets back behind the wheel of Jones’ outlaw kart at Millbridge Speedway. – From the Driver’s Seat: Now that you’ve had a year to think about it, how differently do these NextGen cars drive compared to any of the other cars you’ve driven before on dirt? “Yeah, I don’t really think that the NextGen car drives a whole lot different on dirt compared to the old car. You know, overall, it has some of the same tendencies as what the old car did, but I thought the biggest change last year was due to some of the track prep. It stayed pretty tacky through the race, and we had some rain in the area, so it kind of kept the track in a heavy state, and it made the racing a lot different. I think this year might be kind of the same, it seems like we will still have some of that adverse weather in the area once again, so we’ll see how that plays out, but overall I think the cars are pretty similar.” |
