The news of NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series competitor Tyler Dippel being suspended took the NASCAR world by storm on Friday.
However, the question then became: who would drive the No. 02 truck at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park? The answer looks to be DJ Kennington.
FOX Sports’ Alan Cavanna Tweeted a photo of the name rail for the No. 02 truck, and it has been rebranded to reflect Kennington driving the truck.
