Ryan Ellis tweeted out Wednesday evening that he will be running a throwback paint scheme at Darlington Raceway on Mother’s Day Weekend, honoring his grandfather, Vic Ellis.
Vic raced on dirt tracks in the 1950s, but lost his life in a tragic racing accident.
So excited that @KeenParts / @keenparts2 / @1844TomKeen have allowed me to run this @TooToughToTame throwback scheme with @TeamBJMcLeod honoring my Grandpa Vic who passed away doing what he loved, racing, in 1958. pic.twitter.com/I6KeocZQoU
