Rapid City Rush paint scheme to be featured as part of NASCAR race

This weekend’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway will feature a themed paint scheme of the ECHL’s Rapid City Rush adorning the number 77 car.

Sunday’s Gander RV 400 race will feature the Rush word mark on the hood, as well as the logo of the team’s NHL affiliate, the Arizona Coyotes. The Rush word mark will also appear on the front and back bumper of the car, with the ECHL logo adorning the rear of the car. Sunday’s race will air on NBCSN and the NBC Sports App at 3 p.m. ET.

The number 77 car is owned by Spire Motorsports, a subsidiary of Spire Sports + Entertainment, which purchased an ownership stake in the Rush’s ECHL Membership earlier this year.
