Race car with the number 98 parked on asphalt, with cloudy sky and buildings in the background.

Husker 07 is the seventh car produced by Husker Motorsports. This was the first car that attempted to implement an aerodynamics package into the design of the car. It features a completely redesigned front and rear suspension, radiators on each side of the car, and a well packaged exhaust that fits underneath the engine. This car performed very well earning us our first trophy by placing 3rd in the Lincoln Acceleration event.
