LAKE WALES, Fla. — DGM Racing unveiled a special throwback paint scheme that honors Mason Massey’s racing inspiration – his uncle, Marty Massey. During the Official NASCAR Throwback Weekend at Darlington Raceway, Mason Massey will pilot the Marty Massey Towing & Recovery Chevrolet adorned with his uncle’s 2003 Dirt Late Model paint scheme in the Xfinity Series Mahindra ROXOR 200 May 7.
The red and yellow paint scheme is particularly meaningful to the Massey family. It was watching his uncle race around 7 Flags Speedway with this paint scheme that sparked Mason’s interest in racing. Mason, a 4th generation racecar driver from Douglasville, Ga., fell in love with the sport and determined that he, too, would race one day and carry on his family’s tradition. This weekend, Mason will have the honor to carry along with him the names of both gentlemen who inspired him: his grandfather and uncle.
“I’m really looking forward to running the throwback scheme to honor my uncle Marty. This is the scheme he had when I first started watching him race, which ultimately made me want to be a racecar driver too,” said Mason Massey, driver of the DGM Racing No. 91. “It makes it even more special that my late grandfather, Bill Massey, was the car owner. It’s really cool to be racing with both of their names above the door. Can’t wait to get the weekend started!”
The Massey family towing business, Marty Massey Towing & Recovery, W.J. Plemons Investments, Inc., and Anderson Power Services will serve as the primary partners.
