DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Rick Hendrick conceded with a smile that when he first began interacting with driver Alex Bowman two years ago he sometimes mistakenly referred to the young racer as Alex Baldwin.
And for racing team owner John Visconti III, an opportunity of a lifetime flashed before him last fall. And it's paid dividends for driver Brandon McReynolds.
Visconti was at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series weekend, which also included a NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race. It was that trip to Charlotte that brought the opportunity to his attention.
Beard Motorsports has confirmed that driver Brendan Gaughan will return to the team this year for another limited schedule in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.
