In 2008, Hackett caught the eye of many competitors in the garage area with his practice showing at Bristol. At one point in practice two years ago, a representative from Roush-Fenway Racing came over to team owner Ray Hackett and stated that Ryan was running laps on old tires that were the exact same times as NASCAR Sprint Cup Series star Greg Biffle. Unfortunately, a mechanical problem in qualifying for the race kept Hackett out of the field. The team will look for some redemption at one of Ryan’s favorite tracks. Sponsor JandR Supply Corp. will be on board as the primary sponsor for the race.
