Great to see JRM actually make a smart driver signing. Aric has got the talent now he just needs some seat time before moving back to Cup in a few years. I think it really opened some eyes when he on baby watch for both the #48 and #24 this year. Hope he does well in the #88 next year.

Good move. Aric has really matured over the past year or so. He also has backing from Graceway if JRM doesn't get sponsorship throughout the season from GT Vodka.

Yeah I'm wondering about Graceway, they were an associate earlier this season when he ran for James Finch. Also GT Vodka is scheduled for 15 races next year so who knows?

I also want to add the GT Vodka paint scheme is pretty cool looking IMO.

I do like that scheme.

It appears this deal is a multiyear one.
