Cool car indeed. Those 26" diameter tires in back look weird, but I'm guessing nobody makes 28" road race tires?

Sure looks cool, but they had a better prototype version of the racer at the SEMA.

Love the color, but the wheel and tire size looks funny compared to the body.

Too bad this car dropped out due to mechanical problems. It was moving up and closing in on the lead for a while

Default pick your poison
I believe the regulations require 18 inch wheels for the spec hoosier tire they must run in the class. Same for challenger and mustang it appears.
