The NASCAR Cup Series takes on the dirt oval at Bristol Motor Speedway for the second time on April 17, the first in the Gen 7 car. The drivers will have a new piece of equipment as they head out onto the racing surface with mud flaps attached to their stock cars.

RFK Racing provided the first look at the new accessory on April 13. Chris Buescher, the driver of the No. 17 RFK Racing Ford, tweeted out a photo showing the mud flap attached to his Fastenal-sponsored stock car. FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass noted that NASCAR will require teams to keep the mud flaps attached to the rear of the cars at all times during the trip to Bristol Motor Speedway.
