Back To Familiar Territory: Fan favorite Spencer Boyd returns to the popular NASCAR Throwback weekend at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway settled in aboard his new Truck number and leadership eyeing his second NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win of his career.
No. 126: This weekend at Darlington Raceway, Boyd will make his 126th career NASCAR start. Boyd has three starts in the NASCAR Cup Series, 50 starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and will make his 73rd start in Trucks when the green flag waves Friday night.
The highlight of his NASCAR career is a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway in October 2019 driving for Young’s Motorsports.
Anchor Partner: At the beginning of the season, Spencer Boyd announced that RimTyme will serve as an anchor partner on his No. 12 Chevrolet Silverado for the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season.
RimTyme will serve as the primary marketing for seven races this season while serving as an associate marketing partner for the remaining 15 races.
RimTyme Custom Wheels and Tires carries more custom rims than the traditional wheel shop. They have a large selection of name-brand custom wheels available in the latest styles, finishes, colors, and sizes.
In addition to a variety of wheel brands, RimTyme carries popular tire brands for everyday driving needs at affordable prices to fit any budget.
Throwing It Back: In the 2022 Darlington Raceway Throwback Weekend tribute, Spencer Boyd will roll Michael Waltrip’s raced No. 23 Hawaiian Punch Pontiac out into the North Carolina sunshine to compare it to Boyd’s No. 12 RimTyme Chevrolet Silverado that bears the same iconic design.
Michael Waltrip’s Hawaiian Punch paint scheme debuted in 1985 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on a Chevrolet. In Waltrip’s first full-time season in the NASCAR Cup Series for Chuck Rider and Bahari Racing, the No. 23 Hawaiian Punch Pontiac became a part of NASCAR history attached to the now storied driver, team owner, and television personality.
As a keepsake from an important milestone in his career, Waltrip still has the actual race car from that year in his personal garage.

Spencer Boyd Pre-Race Quotes:
On Darlington Raceway Throwback Weekend: “Throwbacks are an opportunity to celebrate NASCAR’s history; I love them. We asked RimTyme to pick the scheme this year so when they came back with Michael’s Hawaiian Punch car a big smile came across my face.
“Michael made mention of me on the broadcast at my very first NASCAR race, so I find it fitting to honor him this way.”
