Myatt Snider Planning To Get Dirty At Bristol

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Myatt Snider will go trucking next weekend for the first time since June of 2019. However, he’ll do so on a surface he’s not well versed in — dirt.

Snider announced Thursday afternoon that he’ll attempt to qualify for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Pinty’s Truck Race on Dirt at the dirt-covered Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, driving the No. 33 Chevrolet Silverado for Reaume Brothers Racing.

Louisiana Hot Sauce, a longtime supporter of Snider’s going back to his ARCA Menards Series debut in 2016, will sponsor the effort. Superior Essex and TaxSlayer, two of Snider’s partners in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, will be associate sponsors for the Bristol dirt event.

It will mark Snider’s first Truck Series race in nearly two years. The last time the now-Xfinity Series regular competed in a NASCAR truck was with ThorSport Racing at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Ill.

If that’s not challenging enough, Snider’s background is racing late models and ARCA stock cars on pavement before advancing into NASCAR.

Dirt racing was never really in the cards. That makes the March 27 event at The Last Great Coliseum a unique opportunity for the 26-year-old son of NASCAR on NBC pit reporter Marty Snider.

“It’s going to be fantastic to make my return to the Truck Series on dirt next weekend at Bristol,” said Snider. “The Last Great Coliseum has been good to me, and the dirt makes it that much more alluring. The entry list is stacked and that’s going to make the event that much better and more fun to compete in.

“I can’t wait to return with such a spicy ride on track with Louisiana Hot Sauce supporting us.”

Snider does have have one prior Truck Series start on dirt, in 2018 at Ohio’s Eldora Speedway when he finished 20th in a ThorSport-prepared entry.

Louisiana Hot Sauce, one of the staple brands from Georgia-based, family-owned food company Summit Hill Foods, was the sponsor onboard Snider’s Cunningham Motorsports entry when Snider — then 21 — won his debut ARCA start at Toledo (Ohio) Speedway.

The brand has continued as a sponsor of Snider’s racing efforts, including his full-season run in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with Richard Childress Racing, meaning that the Bristol dirt race marks the rekindling of a successful partnership for driver and sponsor.

“We have built our business at Summit Hill Foods for the last 80 years, over four generations of our family, so for us to partner with Myatt at a dirt race, which dates back to the very origins of NASCAR is a perfect combination,” noted Brad Olsen, vice president of marketing for Summit Hill Foods. “We’ve had a longstanding partnership with Myatt and his family, supporting him from the start of his career with our Original Louisiana Hot Sauce brand and we were so proud to see him in victory lane at Miami just a few weeks ago.

“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with him for this unique event on dirt at Bristol next weekend.”

Snider won in a late model during the inaugural U.S. Short Track Nationals at Bristol in 2017, and finished fifth there last year with RCR in the Xfinity Series.

Altogether, Snider has three top-five finishes in five career Bristol starts.

The Pinty’s Truck Race on Dirt takes the green flag March 27 at 8 p.m. ET, with live coverage on FS1, the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, channel 90.

Heat races earlier in the afternoon will set the field for the Saturday night main event.
