- Remember back on Saturday night when Andrew Grady referred to Landon Huffman as a "trash panda" in an interview with Frontstretch at Hickory Motor Speedway after the Soundgear Throwback 276? Well, some good has come out of it.

Huffman announced Wednesday that he is collaborating with the Rocket City Trash Pandas, the Class AA Southern League affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels that plays in Madison, Ala, just outside of Huntsville. The Trash Pandas logo will be on the hood of his car in this weekend's xMAX CARS Tour event at North Wilkesboro Speedway. 

"The opportunity [with SHR] was kind of random. We had this program with Polkadot — our partner here — where we were going to do a couple of Truck races, and we had some budget that was kind of leftover. My manager Andrew was speaking to Sam [Hunt] and just like, ‘What’s possible?’ And when he said Indy, we were like, ‘Well, it’s kind of hard to not want to go after that one.’" - Conor Daly on how his ride with Sam Hunt Racing for Indianapolis came together.
