Play: NASCAR Fantasy Live
When the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series returns to the track at Kansas Speedway on May 8 (8:30 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1), Red Horse Racing driver Ben Kennedy will run a SpongeBob SquarePants paint scheme in support of the Sprint Cup Series race on May 9 (7:30 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1).
“I’m really excited to drive the Local Motors/SpongeBob SquarePants Toyota Tundra at Kansas Speedway,” Kennedy said in a news release. “I grew up watching SpongeBob and this is an awesome opportunity to have some fun with a special paint scheme.”
Kennedy’s No. 11 Local Motors/SpongeBob SquarePants Toyota Tundra will feature SpongeBob and his friends Patrick and SquidWard on the hood, while Mr. Krabs and Sandy Cheeks float in the sea on the rear deck lid.
In three starts in 2015, Kennedy has a Keystone Light Pole Award and third-place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway and is 10th in the points standings. In one start at Kansas, Kennedy has a 20th-place finish, improving 10 spots from the start of last season’s race at the track.
One week after the Kansas race, the Truck Series heads to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the NC Education Lottery 200 on May 15 (8:30 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1), and you can design his helmet. Until next Tuesday, Kennedy and sponsor Local Motors will be taking entries. Click here for more information.
