Tips from The Pirate Proxy Bay for Picking a Proxy

By
SM
-

If you are like many people, then you have come across Pirate Bay and use it either occasionally or on a regular basis. Pirate Bay is a torrenting website that allows you to download TV shows, movies, applications, video games, and a lot more without having to pay. However, more and more countries have been blocking this site by using the ISPs to restrict access. Or perhaps the website has stopped accessing new memberships from your geolocation. Regardless of your situation, you do not have to fret as there are many other ways to get your hands on those sweet free downloads from torrenting websites. 

In this read, we are going to share knowledge on where to find ideal proxy sites for the pirate bay. This way even if memberships are closed or torrenting is prohibited in your country, you won’t have to worry. 

1. Switch up the Proxy Sites

Similar to competitive games, you do not want to stick to one strategy as the opponent will read and figure out a way around it. Well, this applies to proxy sites or torrenting. As such, you will want to change your IP or perhaps go to a different site that provides the same torrents you are searching for. Keep Pirate Bay as the primary website, but have a few alternatives on your bookmarks section. 

2. Utilize Search Engines

Search engines like Google and Bing will give you thousands of results on proxy lists. They are your best friend when it comes to looking for pirate bay proxies. However, you should be aware of scammers and hackers as they tend to use fake proxies to trap unaware users. Simply type ‘’Pirate bay proxies’’ and the search engine will give you numerous websites that allow you to access Pirate Bay. 

However, ensure you read the terms and conditions before signing up or downloading any file or better yet, leverage our pirate bay proxy list. These links are manually checked and approved to ensure they are safe and working. They are also rotated on a regular, ascertaining you have a varying IP address whenever you log in so that your internet service provider does not block your access. 

3. Use a Free Pirate Bay Proxy

Perhaps the easiest way to gain access to a restricted torrenting website is by utilizing a free PB proxy such as Thepirateproxybay. The appealing part is that you don’t have to sign up, pay or download anything as everything is done on your behalf. Simply click on a free representative and you will be redirected to Pirate Bay. This simple process allows you to access the website, even if it has been blocked by your ISP. Unfortunately, not many free PB proxies are available and most of them no longer work. In addition, there’s the possibility of getting a virus or malware on your computer from these websites. 

4. Read Reviews

Check the proxy site you’re about to access and find out what other users have to say about it. Go through the comments, check for complaints, speed caps, etc. Also, you can go through articles published by specialist sites that test these kinds of services on a regular basis. Websites with reviews from other people are the best to use as you know whether they are safe or not from the get-go. If a proxy site has numerous reviews, it’s likely to be reliable. For the best reviews, go to websites like Capterra and Reddit. 

5. Find an Ideal Proxy

In order to find the right proxy, again start with a search engine lookup. A term like ‘’Pirate Bay Proxy’’ will instantly provide numerous results of both paid and free VPNs. There are numerous types of proxies for The Pirate Bay, but the browser-based and web-based are the most popular options. A browser-based proxy will only work through web browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. However, web-based proxies can be used on all devices. Browser-based are ideal for PCs and laptops, but if you are looking to use the proxy on your tablet or phone, then it is best to pick a web-based solution. 

You will cross dedicated (only work through Firefox and Chrome), linked (only work in one browser) and universal (which work across all available browsers). All you have to do is pick one that matches your situation and needs. Also, keep in mind that some proxies only allow you to access Pirate Bay with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption which allows you to encrypt all your traffic, and thus, not even your ISP will know what you are downloading. 

With these tips, you should be able to access pirate bay without limitations.

FR8AUCTIONS UPS THE ANTE FOR FIRST RACE ON ALL-NEW ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY

By
Official Release
-

HAMPTON, Ga. (Dec. 13, 2021) – Atlanta Motor Speedway and Fr8Auctions are upping the ante for the first NASCAR race on the newly revamped speedway in 2022.

Fr8Auctions is the entitlement partner for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event on Saturday, March 19, which will be the first NASCAR race held on the all-new Atlanta Motor Speedway. To mark the historic first, the previously 200-mile race distance went back on the “auction block” and the “hammer price” came in eight miles higher than last year.

As a result, the first race held during Atlanta’s spring NASCAR weekend will be the Fr8 208.

“When I saw the new Atlanta Motor Speedway for the first time, I knew we needed to do something special with the first race,” said Fr8Auctions founder Marcus Barela. “Partnering with our home track has been a great opportunity to generate awareness of our auctions, and we’re excited to deliver eight more miles of thrills on this all-new speedway in 2022!”

The new 208-mile race distance will require 135 laps around the 1.54-mile Atlanta Motor Speedway as drivers in the Camping World Truck Series race around the revamped 28-degree banked turns for the first time.

“I know our fans will enjoy the extra racing we’ll have on our revamped speedway thanks to Marcus Barela and Fr8Auctions,” said Atlanta Motor Speedway Executive Vice President and General Manager, Brandon Hutchison. “Never before has an intermediate track challenged NASCAR racers with high-banks as steep as ours, so we know the action that we’ll see for the first time in March will be one-of-a-kind.”

The Fr8 208 is part of Atlanta’s same-day NASCAR doubleheader, preceding the Nalley Cars 250 Xfinity Series race. Saturday tickets good for both races start at just $35; kids 12 and under are free on Saturday.

The spring NASCAR weekend is headlined by the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, March 20. Weekend packages for all three races are available starting at just $59.

Thwaits and Showtime Motorsports at the Indianapolis Performance Racing Industry Show

By
Official Release
-

Indianapolis, INDIANA – December 13, 2021 – The annual Performance Racing Industry Show roared back to life at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis last week after an enforced sabbatical in 2020. This year saw a power packed show that had buyers and exhibitors flocking from all over the globe. A real gathering of motorsport manufactures, teams and media was present in full force. The show was very well attended and among the keenest participants was Showtime Motorsports principal Ken Thwaits, whose Franklin Road Apparel cars have made such an impact since joining the Trans Am family.

Ken was crowned Extreme GT Champion in 2020 behind the wheel of the Audi R8 LMS Ultra and arguably surpassed that achievement when finishing in P4 overall in the 2021 Trans Am TA Class Drivers’ Championship in the Franklin Road Chevrolet Camaro. We were lucky enough to catch up with Ken in Indianapolis and asked him about his presence at the show and his plans for 2022.

“The main reason that I’m here is that it was canceled last year! This is the first PRI Show in 24 months which is awesome, and it’s packed here which is great to see. I don’t know if you’d call the attendees fans but they’re the hardcore buyers of parts for the racecars and it’s great to see them flocking here.”

“The reason I’m here is to catch up with my Trans Am circles and affiliates and see what rules will be in place and what will not be in place [for next season]. We had a draft of the rules sent out to all the teams and I want to see what transpired. We are already full steam getting all the cars ready for Sebring.”

Ken is always keen to upgrade his cars and find new partners, something he alluded to when he added, “The other thing is to meet the suppliers that we work with or that we want to work with and discuss if there are potential synergies between our race team and the products that they sell. Can they benefit from our TV package and social media machine that we’ve created. We can in turn benefit from the products that they provide us to go racing. We’re also seeing our good friends at Mike Cope Racing and really everybody that’s involved in the Series that’s here.”

The media profile Ken referred to was further boosted by a CBS Sports Network announcement for the 2022 season – giving The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli a fine platform for cable viewing in the new year.

Although still relatively new to Trans Am, Ken is a successful and experienced driver in his own right, “I came from the Ultimate Street Car Series sponsored by Optima batteries. I was the Champion in 2014 and their racing winner in 2017 after the SEMA show and that’s really the grand prize, it is their Indy 500. It’s great to catch up with them and they’ll be joining us in 2022 and SVRA for six races with us which is exciting news. It’s a stepping stone for drivers for the future.”

Ken was also quick to acknowledge his existing partners and suppliers and highlighted the important changes to the Trans Am TA Class formula for 2022, “PFC brakes have been great. We’ve got a new wheel and tire package with Forgeline wheels. The new wheel and tire package is expensive for the team owners to get the cars outfitted but you have to take advantage of the new diameter. We’ve got an 18-inch wheel so you can fit a bigger brake package under the car. The car really should be transformed. It’s going to make it feel much more like a tight race car. This is going to make it a little bit more predictable even though you’ve got that wild power, maybe more manners.”

Ken is keen to add a TA Class teammate to the Franklin Road Apparel team having just signed Cameron Lawrence and Carl Rydquist for the TA2 Championship, “We’re building an all new Camaro body TA car for a driver that we’re seeking and that car is coming along nicely. It’s going to be beautiful. It will be black and blue, car No. 7.”

The car No. 7 Ken is building represents a unique and truly outstanding opportunity for the right driver to establish a place for him or herself in Trans Am TA Class right from the outset. With the season beginning with the traditional curtain raiser at Sebring at the end of February just a few weeks away, don’t hesitate to get in touch if you think you could be interested in the hot seat via this link Showtime Motorsports: Contact Us.

Four-time World of Outlaws Late Model champion Josh Richards and eight-time World of Outlaws Late Model winner Devin Moran split the Late Model Bristol Bash victories this year.

Sweeter the Second Time Around: Rafa Matos’ Fight for a TA2 Title

Trans Am 8 Weeks of Champions: Rafa Matos

MIAMI (13 December 2021)- The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli enjoyed its most competitive season to date in the TA2® class, with historic full grids and exciting races. The season saw 85 drivers compete in National and ProAm Challenge competition, including several of NASCAR’s up-and-coming stars.

Rafa Matos was more than up to the challenge. The Florida-based Brazilian won six of the 12 races, four pole positions and captured the championship by a whopping 82 points, driving Doug Peterson’s No. 88 3-Dimensional Racing Ford Mustang. (VIDEO: Matos Earns Second Trans Am TA2 Championship – YouTube)

“It’s pretty amazing to see the growth of TA2,” Matos said. “The format that John Clagett and Tony Parella have put together while rebranding the series is working. It’s getting everything the general racer wants; having a fast car and an affordable way to run it, while having a legit schedule, with legit racetracks. Those are the most important things.”

Matos is no stranger to winning titles. He was crowned at each step on his climb up the open-wheel ladder, taking championships in Barber Formula Dodge (2003), Star Mazda (2005), Formula Atlantic (2007) and Indy Lights (2008). He was IndyCar Rookie of the Year in 2009, and also the fastest rookie in that year’s Indianapolis 500. He opened 2008 with a GT victory for Mazda in the Rolex 24 At Daytona, and closed that season with an overall victory in the Sunchaser 1000 at Miller Motorsports Park (now the Utah Motorsports Campus), his first race in a Daytona Prototype.

Since then, Matos has enjoyed success in Brazilian stock cars, various sports cars and karting. His career took an abrupt turn in 2017, when he finished second at Detroit in his TA2® debut. After that, Matos was hooked.

After testing the waters by running five races in 2017 (winning the pole at Road America), Matos was quickly impressed.

“When I first came to Trans Am, back in 2017, the series wasn’t as competitive as it is now,” Matos recalled. “Right away, I fell in love with the car. It’s pure driving – it’s pure racing. The series does a nice job in dealing with the balance of performance, making sure that all the brands are pretty equal and competitive inside their playground. The cars are fun to drive, you’re not racing a car with all kinds of driver aids. The H-pattern gearbox also brings an edge to guys who know how to shift the gears properly.”

Matos ran the full season the following year, winning five races, three poles and the championship.

“Coming from a GT3 car and the highly competitive Brazilian stock cars, I had a pretty good base whereas I could just jump in a Trans Am car and go fast right away,” he said. “By my first full season in 2018, I was fully adapted to the car, and it was a lot of fun.”

The next title, though, was a few years in coming. He placed third in 2019 despite winning four races, and came in second in pandemic-plagued 2020.

“We were in a very good position to win the championship in ’19, but then we had a DNF at VIR and that ruined our season. Then last year was very hectic with the pandemic. I’m glad we got to race some. I had one win, but I had chances to win three or four other races but something always went wrong.”

This past season, Matos was both fast and consistent. After placing second at Sebring – when his power steering failed in the closing minutes – he took eighth at Road Atlanta. From there, Matos won at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca that launched a streak of nine podiums in the remaining 10 events.

Ironically, it was the non-podium –at Nashville – that he called his personal highlight of the year.

“Finishing the race at Nashville without the power steering was my personal highlight,” he said. “I had to drive the car for 20-something laps at that place, and it was very hot at a very physical street course. Muscling the car for that long left me severely dehydrated, and the engineers started coaching me before I passed out in the car. We managed to finish seventh and collected 19 points, so we were able to keep our points lead despite a very strong performance by [Mike] Skeen. We started 18th and went through the field, and were fighting for the lead when the power steering broke.”

Road America saw another charge, from 36th to third, “And if we had a yellow late in the race I think I could have won. The yellow never came, but it felt like a win for us.”

Another highlight was winning at Virginia International Raceway.

“We were definitely the class of the field,” he said. “It was a very good season, full of highlights, but sealing the championship at VIR with one race to go after a good battle with a few drivers was big. That allowed us to go to the last race at COTA just to have fun. I was completely relaxed at COTA. We had fun and finished the championship the way we wanted – winning the pole and winning the race.” (VIDEO: That Moment When Matos Clinched the Trans Am TA2 Championship – YouTube)

Matos knows that the competition will be even tougher in 2022. But he knows he’s also going to be tougher, and is looking forward to defending his championship.

“I think we’re going to be even stronger [in 2022],” Matos said. “A lot of teams tend to slow down during the off-season, but we’re going to focus on the areas where we think we can improve our performance. I think our team is using our resources and our personnel really well in the off-season, trying to improve the cars.”

In the meantime, Matos plans to spend a lot of time at race tracks over the winter – mentoring and coaching several drivers on the South Florida karting scene.

The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli is one of the longest-running championships in motorsport, and will celebrate its 55th season with a diverse 12-race 2022 schedule that will include multiple road courses, a roval and a street circuit.

Trans Am’s 2022 roster of races will be staged at legendary venues across the United States as part of SpeedTour, IndyCar Series and NASCAR events with the season kicking off at Sebring International Raceway February 24-27.

Valerie Thompson Vacates Pilot Seat in Manning’s BUB 7 Motorcycle Streamliner

America’s Queen of Speed cites lack of confidence after mass team resignations

Bonneville Salt Flats, UT (Dec. 13, 2021) – Ten-time land speed record holder Valerie Thompson announces, effective immediately, her separation from Denis Manning and the BUB 7 Streamliner Motorcycle team citing loss of confidence in the streamliner and designer Manning. Thompson has been piloting the former world-title holding motorcycle since 2016 and was Manning’s top funding source for the team.

Considered the “world’s fastest female motorcycle racer” after inking a 328 mph speed record, Thompson is an independent team owner/driver who competitively drag raced before focusing on land speed racing, eventually earning 10 Land Speed Records on two continents.

“We lost some essential crew members over the last few months,” said Thompson about her eroding confidence in the project. “The remaining crew contacted me late last week with the sad news they had quit and removed all their tools from the Team 7 Racing shop. Without this ‘super crew,’ I’m highly doubtful about the performance potential of the BUB 7 to re-capture the worlds fastest motorcycle title. More importantly, I’m concerned for my safety. These are not just my team mates, they’re my guardian angels.”

Each of the departing team members helped extract Thompson from the BUB 7 wreckage after a devastating 363 mph crash on Australia’s Lake Gairdner salt flats in 2018. “While I’m disappointed, I won’t be setting the fastest motorcycle record with Team 7 Racing, I’m heart broken the crew won’t see the results of their 36 months of painstaking re-building work. Each of them has volunteered countless hours in this quest. They deserve better,” added Thompson.

Thompson remains the principal driver of the dual-engine Target 550 streamliner owned by Oregonian and veteran land speed race team owner Marlo Treit.  Treit’s 43-foot, 9,000-pound speed machine is vastly different than the BUB 7 motorcycle. The team’s goal is to break Tom Burkland’s 415 mph World Record set in 2008. Thompson exceeded the team’s testing goals on her first three test runs, clocking 218, 270 and 291 mph.

Thompson, often referred to as “America’s Queen of Speed,” is a lifetime member of multiple 200 and 300 MPH Clubs, a Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame inductee, only female in the “World’s Top 10 Fastest Motorcycle Racers” rankings and aspiring pickleball pro.

Valerie Thompson Background

Valerie Thompson is the World’s Fastest Female Motorcycle Racer and 10X land speed record holder with membership in the Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame. She is a member eight 200 MPH Clubs, one 300 MPH Club and the only female in the World’s Top 10 Fastest Motorcycle Racers rankings. In addition to her relentless pursuit of new speed records, Valerie’s goals include earning a professional rating in her favorite sport of pickleball. She started playing less than a year ago and has already collected 6 medals in her first five tournaments playing women’s singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles.

Delivered new to Switzerland, it is not only a late production “thick chassis” example but also one of the comparatively few examples finished in Miura Bleu, in this case with a Gobi interior, the same colors in which the car is presented today. Matching numbers, the car shows exceptionally well and is offered with an extensive history file.

The 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS Lightweight (Offered At $1,750,000) is a thoroughbred example of the exceptionally rare M471 RS Lightweight cars, of which only 200 were originally built. Delivered new to Finnish racing champion Leo Kinnunen and accompanied with a full Andy Prill inspection report on file, this matching numbers, highly unique RS was fitted in period with original RSR elements such as the prototypical rear wing and wider rear fenders. Offered on behalf of a significant private collection, and in impressive original, well-preserved condition.

Another exciting highlight is the 1983 Lancia Rally 037 Evoluzione 2 Group B (Offered at $800,000). An excellent example of a racing legend from the Golden Era of all-out Group B rallying, this is the ultimate specification of the 037, of which only 20 examples were built. Campaigned extensively in period at World and European Rally Championship events by a roster of famed drivers, first by the factory and then the privateer Jolly Club team, it is extremely well documented from its racing days through to its tenure in the famed John Campion Collection. It has been Certified by Abarth Classiche, attesting to its originality and correctness throughout.

Rounding out the initial offering are a pair of very special Lancias including one of the rarest iterations of the homologated Group A rally car, the 1992 Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione 16 Valve Martini 5 (Offered at $350,000) and a pristine example of the final, most desirable variant of Integrale, presented in one of the most desirable colors, the 1994 Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione II 16V “Blu Lord” (Offered at $195,000). An additional noteworthy highlight includes BMW’s legendary E30 M3, the 1990 BMW M3 Sport Evolution (Offered at $255,000). Superbly presented and complete with extensive documentation, the 1990 BMW is one of very few Sport Evolutions built for homologation purposes and is nothing less than thrilling to drive.

“We are excited to continue and further expand our relationship with racing and specifically with the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway,” said Michael McGarry, PPG chairman and chief executive officer. “PPG paints, coatings and specialty materials have been used throughout racing for decades, and now to have them be part of the future INDYCAR SERIES and IMS experience is an exciting opportunity. Our company purpose is ‘to protect and beautify the world,’ and this partnership will provide opportunities to bring this to life in new and colorful ways.”

The partnership revives a relationship between PPG, IMS and INDYCAR that began decades ago. PPG served as the title sponsor of the INDYCAR SERIES from 1980 to 1997. The company sponsored the Indianapolis 500 Pole Award and was an Indy 500 contingency sponsor from the mid-1970s until the late 1990s. PPG sponsored the winner’s trophy for the NASCAR Brickyard 400 at IMS from its inaugural race in 1994 through 2000.

PPG has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Team Penske in both the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and NASCAR, dating back to 1984 when PPG provided the paint for Team Penske’s numerous race cars. Today, PPG’s involvement with the team includes primary sponsorship of Team Penske’s cars in both INDYCAR and NASCAR.

Wheaties Continues 100th Anniversary Celebration with Century Box Featuring the Legendary Michael Jordan

As part of the celebration, Wheaties Also Joins 23XI Racing

MINNEAPOLIS (December 13, 2021) — As part of Wheaties’ 100th anniversary, the brand is paying tribute to sports icon Michael Jordan, who will be featured on the box for a historic 19th time as part of a year-long commemorative celebration. As part of the celebration, Wheaties will partner with 23XI Racing, co-owned by Jordan and three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin, and its driver, Bubba Wallace, during the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Wheaties has forever changed what it means to be a Champion by recognizing athletes who are not only the best at their sports, but those who have broken barriers and made significant contributions to the world at large.

Throughout his career, Jordan shattered records during his time in the NBA, created the emblematic Jordan brand, uplifted charities and nonprofits, influenced sports culture and most recently, formed 23XI Racing. As the embodiment of the Wheaties Champion, Jordan will be recognized on two limited-edition, 100th anniversary boxes: an iconic orange box available now at retailers, and a new collector’s Gold Foil box that debuts on December 14, 2021. The Wheaties Champion first appeared on the Wheaties box in 1988 and continues to inspire future champions.

“A modern-day legend and inspiration for champions of all ages, Michael Jordan is an incredible athlete, humanitarian and entrepreneur,” said Kathy Dixon, senior brand experience manager for Wheaties. “We are so proud to launch the next box in our anniversary series honoring one of the greatest sports stars and most-decorated Wheaties athlete in history.”

Adding to his legendary career, Jordan made history in 2020 when 23XI Racing was formed, as Jordan became the first Black majority owner of a full-time race team in NASCAR’s premier series in nearly 50 years. History was made again on October 4, 2021, when Wallace won his first-career Cup Series race making Wallace the first African American to win a NASCAR Cup Series race since 1963.

“To be able to honor MJ as part of the Wheaties 100th anniversary celebration and have Wheaties join the 23XI Racing family is special for our team,” said Wallace. “When you think of greatness, you think of Michael Jordan and his drive for excellence both on and off the court. His competitive nature and determination motivate me in my career every day. It is an honor of a lifetime to drive for MJ and rep the No. 23, a number that is such a big part of his legacy.”

Wallace will join in the Wheaties 100th anniversary celebration on Tuesday, December 14, to deliver the newly minted ‘Michael Jordan Gold Foil Wheaties box’ to a handful of Jordan superfans, fellow athletes and friends. Wallace will be easy to spot en route in Charlotte, North Carolina, behind the wheel of a replica Wheaties-branded Toyota Camry.

The No. 23 Wheaties Toyota Camry TRD takes to the track on Sunday, February 27, 2022, at Auto Club Speedway.

Fans of collectables can get in on the action and purchase the Michael Jordan Gold Foil Box for $25.00 each on www.Shop.Wheaties.com starting at noon EST on Tuesday, December 14. For fans who are unable to get their hands on the Gold Foil box, the limited-edition Michael Jordan Wheaties Century Box is available at national grocery retailers now for a SRP of $4.99.

Wheaties fans can expect to see other instantly recognizable athletes who have previously graced the iconic orange box through the Century Box Series – giving a nod to champions past and present.

About Century Box Series

Earlier this year, Wheaties announced the Century Box Series celebrating 100 years of the iconic brand, bringing back the most legendary past cover athletes of our time. The series kicked off with none other than ‘The Greatest’, Muhammad Ali, commemorating the late boxer’s achievements in and out of the ring.

To celebrate the centennial, Wheaties is looking back at its most iconic covers, paying homage to the athletes that continue to inspire future generations. For this momentous celebration, Wheaties is honoring trailblazing sports icons and their stories of accomplishments on and off the court. The athletes featured in the commemorative series are those who transcend sports and decades as the brand looks to its next 100 years.

About Wheaties

Wheaties is an iconic brand that has been a part of American culture for 100 years.

Some of the greatest athletes in history have been honored on Wheaties boxes. The team behind “The Breakfast of Champions” have redefined what it means to be a Champion and to champion, reserving their cover for athletes who are using their sports platform for something greater.

About 23XI Racing

23XI Racing – pronounced twenty-three eleven – was founded by NBA legend Michael Jordan and three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin in 2020. With rising NASCAR star Bubba Wallace selected to drive the No. 23 Toyota Camry TRD, the team made its NASCAR Cup Series debut in the 2021 Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway. Wallace made history on October 4, 2021, when he captured his first career Cup Series win, becoming just the second African American to win in the Cup Series, and earning 23XI Racing its first-ever victory. 23XI Racing will expand to a two-car organization in 2022 with Cup Series Champion Kurt Busch driving the No. 45 Toyota Camry TRD.
