This is BIG news, but not surprising because RG was sponsoring some of his NASCAR efforts. He's going to be fun to watch! I will now get my ticket to a race, just not sure which one yet!

Justin running in the SSTs is already paying off . The series gets a mention about every 5 mins on Speed Channel's bottom line . The quote says " Justin Lofton announces he will scale back his 2013 NCWTS schedule so he can compete in Robby Gordon's Stadium Super Truck Series " .
