Team Stange Racing to join NASCAR Cup Series: Will run 8 races in 2022

 

Team Stange Racing

    A brand-new NASCAR Cup Series team has emerged out of basically nowhere, under the name of "Team Stange Racing".  Team Stange Racing is not entirely new to motorsports, as they previously have made an IndyCar start in the 2019 "Indianapolis" 500.

Team Stange Racing has plans to run the No. 79 Ford Mustang with funding from Dignity Gold, LLC.

Dignity Gold is a United States-based digital security company that is taking a revolutionary approach to using verified gold reserves to back its security token. Making the deal between Team Stange Racing and Dignity Gold even more unique is that the entire sponsorship was paid in Dignity Gold’s DIGau tokens (traded on CryptoSX and BitGlobal).

The single-car team has unveiled former Formula 1 and open-wheel driver Tarso Marques as their pilot for their part-time schedule in 2022.
