TSR & Shaggy
Posted on August 8, 2021 4 Comments on TSR & ShaggyIf you haven’t been following Shaggy on social media, then you haven’t heard that he sponsored this pretty rad sprint car. The car was debuted in sprint week 2021 in Indiana – Gas City, Kokomo, Lawrenceburg, Terre Haute, Putnamville, Bloomington, and Haubstadt.
