Blaine Perkins to join RSS Racing for 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season

Blaine Perkins will join RSS Racing on a full-time basis for the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.

[autotag]RSS Racing[/autotag] announced on Monday afternoon that [autotag]Blaine Perkins[/autotag] will drive for the organization full-time in 2024. Perkins joins Ryan Sieg and Kyle Sieg as full-time competitors while plans for a fourth entry remain unknown. The 23-year-old driver started the 2023 NASCAR season with SS-Greenlight Racing before moving over to Our Motorsports

Perkins only has one top-10 finish in his Xfinity Series career when he finished in 10th place at Martinsville Speedway with Our Motorsports in 2022. In the same year, Perkins drove full-time for CR7 Motorsports in the NASCAR Truck Series. Now, he receives his best opportunity yet with RSS Racing in the Xfinity Series.

It was previously rumored that Frankie Muniz, a well-known actor who starred in Malcolm in the Middle, would drive full-time for RSS Racing next year; however, that doesn’t appear to be the case anymore. Muniz’s future remains unknown for the 2024 NASCAR season, as Perkins knows what will be ahead of him.

2 NASCAR drivers were thankfully OK after a gnarly wreck at Talladega

Two NASCAR drivers were thankfully OK after a gnarly wreck at Talladega on Saturday.

The NASCAR world held its breath on Saturday as a gnarly crash sent one driver on a barrel-roll wreck and another into the inside wall.

During the Xfinity Series Ag-Pro 300 at Talladega Superspeedway, NASCAR drivers Blaine Perkins and Dexter Stacey landed in scary situations as they wrecked their vehicles while going into a turn on the track.

Stacey’s car seemed to veer away from the race first in the turn and smacked into Talladega’s inside wall. However, Stacey said after the race that he was fine and that the hit wasn’t as bad as it looked.

It’d be Perkins who would get the brunt of the accident. He got hit on the passenger’s side as he was losing control of his car on the turn. The vehicle started to flip in the air after taking contact before landing on the hood and barrel rolling six times on the track’s backstretch.

Once Perkins’ car finally came to a stop, parts and pieces had flown off and the vehicle looked like a shell of its former self. You could even see a stray tire hopping away from the wreckage.

Thankfully, the AMR Safety Team quickly got to Perkins and helped him walk off the track after he was able to safely exit the damaged vehicle.

The Athletic’s Jordan Bianchi reported that Perkins had been transported from Talladega to a local hospital for further evaluation.

The wreck was so severe that the red flags were waived at the end of Stage 2, and all drivers had to exit their vehicles.

While Perkins was thankfully OK and was getting additional medical attention, his Ollie’s Bargain Outlet-sponsored car looked absolutely demolished as it was being hauled off the track.
