The dark green machine looked stunning, but the driver has elected to go down the route of practicality. He said on social media, “It’s no secret that I LOVE cars but currently it doesn’t pass the “do I really need it” test as my father would say. I’ll sure miss this car but at the end of the day it’s just a car and I’m thankful to have had it! Thanks Chicago Motor Cars SC for working on finding her a good home!”

Matt DiBenedetto is still searching for a Cup Series drive
