    I used to do bodywork and paint some of their stuff... Our shop was next to them in the same building. The guys that worked there were good dudes, the problem was at the top, he promised too much and didn't even know what you needed to show up

    The owner asked my dad to help fund him. My dad owns auto body shops and an rv park lol. Then he asked if we could store car parts and it was very shady so we said no. He told my dad he didn’t want to do any paperwork and he would need a key to my dad’s shop. This is after meeting him for a total of 20 minutes and we are pretty sure he went around doing this to other people. My dad keeps his late model cars and heavy equipment in the shop as well as hundreds of thousands worth of tools. Dude was straight up insane. The Andrea moda of nascar. If you know you know

    They even tried to run I believe Road America with a race car driver who was between 6ft 6in - 7ft tall but couldn't race as the driver was way too tall but couldn't get a proper seat for him.

    I've seen a reddit comment that says one of their trucks were the top 10 in practice at Daytona, then stupidly adjusted a tape in the grill and got slower and they failed to qualify.

    Considering that I know Peyton Sellers that ran at least one race for them, I now definitely have to ask him about this. I know he ran at Indy with them once and finished somewhere in the 20th+ range after a mechanical failure. I think it was cited as an oil leak. I’ve watched some of that race so I’m seriously wondering how he outqualified some people for that race lol

    I remember Okaiba more in XFinity than Cup, I had no idea they were owned by an African or that they were in complete disarray. I thought Okaiba was some Japanese company, shows what I know. Glad you showed the 2018 car at Texas, I had hot passes that weekend and got one pic of that car in the garage. I don't remember if it even got on track.

    G2g racing is probably right up there with obaiki racing.
    I’ve heard some crazy situations with that 50 car of the money team racing.
    Changed ownership group and have only raced 1 time this season with Ty Dillon.
    The situations I’ve heard. Omg
