IT'S TIME! Buying Our First Former NASCAR Race Car! (Former Busch Series Monte Carlo)

What happens here

Upon arrival at the workshop, the Monte Carlo stock car is introduced to Jeff Anton, a former NASCAR K&N Pro Series East driver. Jeff provides historical context for the car, explaining that it was originally Joey Logano's car in the East Series and was later driven by Bobby Labonte and Erik Almirola. The car's unique metal bodywork, custom-built by Dave Davis, and its chassis number (1958, indicating it was from Bobby Labonte's #19 car) are highlighted.

Goal: Understand the stock car's history and current condition.
