This is just a guess but I think Rico is going back to the trucks, before you laugh hear me out. Rico had Kyle Bush backing at Chili Bowl (Rowdy Energy drinks) I don"t think Bush has anybody to drive his truck SO there we go. Just my humble opinion .

Bruce,you're absolutely correct about driving for someone else.

Just posted on FB that Rico will pair with Paul Silva in the Larson/Silva #57. No schedule on where they plan to race was posted.

I wished you were correct, and maybe they WILL work together on the Truck Kyle runs as the rules allow him too (leaving MANY open weeks!)...BUT John Hunter and Chandler Smith ARE set for full-time rides in two of Kyle's trucks in 2021...but I gather you did mean "his" truck (as to the 3rd one Kyle runs, when he can), so again, that would cool!

I would think the connection with Kyle Bush may have something to do with his son racing carts on dirt. Kyle is at top of the Toyota racing pyramid. Seems early, but may be making connections for his son down the road.

That’s partly correct. The 57 is owned by Kevin Kozlowsli. It’s the works limited 57. Paul will be the crew chief for Rico. This was all from walkapedia on Twitter. Larson’s 57 is still there whenever he can run it

They are running in the wild wings shootout this weekend. In Arizona. Got a couple of the racing family members just landed for the racing events this weekend. Should be a great car count with no one else racing and $6000 to win the first two nights and $10000 to win on Sunday night.
