The 2023 Truck Series season was special for RBR, as it would have marked the debut f their new manager and new full-time driver Mason M. Massey IV. Massey made his NASCAR debut in 2019 with the RBR Truck team before spending 3 seasons in the Xfinity series. The winless driver was hopeful that he could have a bright start, but the fire and damages suffered surely dented those dreams.

“Josh took a chance on me and gave me my first opportunity in NASCAR in 2019. We had success then, and I firmly believe we’re going to have even more this year. Proud to partner up with RBR and Ford for a full time season this year,” Massey said in a statement released after his announcement.

2023 would have been the first of many seasons with Ford for RBR. The team envisioned developing internally and building the resources along with the manufacturer for the upcoming season. Now with fire and shortened resources, they might have to delay some of the developmental plans they had in mind.
