Whether it's day or night, The Great American Race always shines.

Corey LaJoie talked a bit about how his opportunity to drive for RFK Racing came about on the season debut of Stacking Pennies: >Corey said that he had started talking to Brad Keselowski around the start of the playoffs last year about doing the 5-6 superspeedway races in 2026, citing how Brad has felt like RFK doesn't have strength in numbers relative to the Chevys and Toyotas to be able to close out races and win them. Characterized those conversations as just "kicking around" and not moving the ball down the field. >Corey had been approached by mid-tier O'Reilly teams and "entertained some conversations", but nothing got much traction. "Without having a consistent place to put our partners ... you just kind of lose the stickiness to be able and plug-and-play like I had." >Corey then hit things off with new RFK president Chip Bowers, and the two of them were having coffee discussing the possibility of running a fourth car the moment Bowers got the call that Brad had broken his femur. Corey said he didn't get told that Brad had been injured, but Bowers told him to be ready and that he had to go. >Brad then called and offered him the opportunity to drive his car at the Clash. The fourth car effort was then put on pause while they figured out what Brad's recovery timetable would look like. Once it looked "hopeful" that Brad could run the Daytona 500, they then pushed play on the fourth car again, got it sold to Tremble, and called him to drive it. >Corey says that he and Carl Edwards will do some things on social next week to commemorate the return of the No. 99. "He's pumped up for me to bring that 99 back to life over at RFK." Linking the full show in the replies. The RFK stuff is between the 5 and 10 minute marks.
