Fitzgerald partnered with SignSmith in Crossville, Tenn., and Black Beard Designs to overhaul the look of the race trailer. The custom 389 will sport the green, black and white color scheme of Laughlin Motorsports.
“We love racing and we love big trucks, so when we were given the opportunity to build a totally custom race hauler, we jumped on it immediately,” says Robert Fitzgerald.
