One of the major racing series making its debut this year is the Superstar Racing Experience. A venture spearheaded by NASCAR legend Tony Stewart and his team, the competition certainly has created some buzz in recent times.
It has now become official that the 6-race series will start in June 2021, extending to a variety of circuits across the country. Some big-name drivers like Stewart himself, Bill Elliott, and Tony Kanaan have already signed up for the challenge.
But SRX’s Twitter administrator thought it would be wise to bring in a few more ‘ringers’ to supplement and support the new series. The handle then reached out to quite a few interesting names that are currently active in the NASCAR circuit.

SRX subsequently tagged the Twitter handles of 7 drivers asking them to consider gracing the competition with their presence!
Busch. being one of them, sportingly responded with a GIF that conveyed his intention of readiness. To which SRX came out with a reply of their own, “You bring the m&m’s we’ll bring the car.”

Similarly, Hamlin acknowledged the appeal, with his followers offering a number of different responses. Could we soon the Joe Gibbs Racing No.11 take to a late model on one of the short tracks then?
