Good eye, it looks like it's all smith racecraft stuff on the car in those pics. I think they maybe old, I see in the one he has santuff shocks and know for a fact it has Menscer's on it currently. I do believe he has switched to the gazzard stuff two years ago.

I to am really happy to see Lyle out driver again. Can't wait to see him in his new car too.
