THIS WEEK ON THE NO. 18 TOYOTA: This week the No. 18 Rheem Toyota Camry will be on display for the DC Solar 300. This will be the sixth time that Rheem will be the primary sponsor of the No. 18 Toyota Camry for Preece this season.

RYAN PREECE: “Las Vegas provides the No. 18 Rheem team an opportunity to bounce back. We were just in the wrong place at the wrong time last week and I really hate that for our guys. This is a special weekend for us as we will have two Rheem customers with us that won a trip to see me race in Las Vegas. They are a key part of what makes Rheem successful and we are excited to show them the ropes for their first NASCAR weekend. The goal this weekend is to put ourselves in a position to be up front towards the end of the DC Solar 300.”
