NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series driver Tim Viens will run a Trump 2020 livery in the NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway this month.
Viens has received backing from Race Fans for Trump 2020 for the Daytona event, which is supported by The Patriots PAC of America, a pro-Trump super PAC. As such, he’ll run a Trump 2020 livery on his No. 03 Chevrolet Silverado for the season opener, which features a white body, stars and stripes graphics, a ‘Trump 2020’ banner on the sides and a ‘Trump-Pence 2020’ logo on the hood. The truck will be fielded by Mike Affarano Motorsports.
“I’m super excited to race at Daytona in front of my friends and family, as I only live five minutes away from the speedway and it’s my home track,” Viens said in a prepared statement.
Viens tried to qualify for the season-opening NASCAR Truck Series rounds at Daytona in 2018 and 2019, but failed to make the field on both occasions. He also participated in the final Xfinity Series round at Homestead in 2018, but also DNQ’ed at that event. He will get more seat time this season, though, preparing to run the entire season with Mike Affarano Motorsports.
“We are pleased to have Tim Viens in the No. 03 at Daytona and the rest of the year,” said team owner Mike Affarano. “We have prepared a great ride for him and we are very confident in Tim’s abilities to finish well at Daytona.”
The Patriots PAC of America has also backed Joe Nemechek for the Xfinity Series Daytona round, with the longtime NASCAR driver set to run a Trump 2020 livery on his No. 47 Chevrolet Camaro SS, as well.
This won’t be the first time we’ve seen Trump 2020 livery on a NASCAR ride. In 2016, Reed Sorenson ran a Trump-Pence livery on his No. 55 Toyota Camry in the top-tier NASCAR Cup Series. That livery design was a joint effort from a number of Premium Motorsports sponsors and was not backed by a super PAC or the Trump campaign itself.
Viens and his No. 03 Trump 2020 Chevrolet Silverado will hit the track for the NextEra Energy Resources 250 on February 14, 2020.

Beautiful! Murcia!
Remember when the same people told Lebron to “shut up and dribble”?
Maybe NASCAR should “shut up and drive”
You’ll down-vote me because you know im right.
I agree. I read a book about how politics are ruining sports(Republicans Buy Sneakers, Too, by Clay Travis), and NASCAR has avoided that thus far. While a Pro-Trump car is one thing, that’s just opening the door for the libs to come in and seal its doom. (that they are slowly but surely climbing out of.) I don’t wanna see that, so I hope they do, indeed, just “shut up and drive” and leave Washington to itself. Separation of sport and state!
I used to like Nemechek, but now I hope he wreck on the first lap and Tim Viens too in his truck !
I smell bad tacos in Chimichangaville
If you were in a barrel full of TITS, you’d come out sucking your thumb!
Viva La Trump!
SPEAK FCUKING ENGLISH ASSHOLE! AND love TO Mr trump!
This is what he said…
Donald Trump is the best thing that happened to America in the last 50 years. It may be re-elected and make America great again for the next four years. God bless the president trump, and God bless America.
still think he’s an asshole? Or do you feel like one now? Get Google translate to avoid making yourself look like a fool in the future. They don’t call it the WORLD WIDE web for nothing. You should be happy that so many people from other countries appreciate our great POTUS, and America in general, unlike the demonrats and libs in this country.
