Speedweek is a great opportunity for me to gain a lot of seat time and experience in just over a week of racing. I appreciate Curtis Sutton and Willie Allen giving me this opportunity to drive the No. 25 Rackley W.A.R. car alongside my teammate Dawson Sutton. It is going to be a pretty awesome week.”
“I would like to thank Ron Hornaday, Jr. and Candice Hornaday from Hornaday Development, Joey Coulter from Drive Refine, Joe Ryan and Billy Workman, Jr. from Joe Ryan Race Cars and all of my sponsors, PayCafe, ABio Clinical Research Partners, Bilstein, GBS Corp, Atomic Wash and BrakeSafe Technologies. We’re also thankful to have Rackley Roofing Company and W.A.R. Shocks on board with us for this event. My continued growth as a race car driver would not be possible without the continued support of all these people and sponsors.”
