Andy Mcmillin Pre-Race Update

Hello Pit Crew,

After suffering transmission failure, in BITD Desert Series race Vegas to Reno the team and I, traveled to Plaster City to function test the suspension, transmission, shocks, light set up, and radio communications before racing Primm 300.

Our transmission failure at Vegas to Reno race began when I hit the wall at Terrible Cup III, and was high-centered on the concrete median, creating a crack in the transmission case. The same transmission was placed inside the trophy truck for the Vegas to Reno race and slowly began leaking oil, blowing the oil line and rupturing shafts. We sent the transmission to Rancho Drive-train Engineering and the crew placed a new Turbo 400 transmission inside the Trophy Truck. I am looking to have a clean race and feel confident after running well during testing. My dad, Scott McMillin, will start the first half of the race and I will drive the second half.
