Hijinx II has been around for a while but still in its prime years. Originally driven by the late Ray Rasing, the McDell brothers would move up into the CowperTruck after some modifications and took out the title in their first attempt, despite not scoring a win! The truck was then sold to Neal Turner for the 2022 season who scored a Top 10 placing in 2022 before claiming third in 2023.
