Get your favorite driver the gift of fire safety this Christmas.

It's amazing to learn how fire safety has evolved and how we now have the capability to prevent fires from happening altogether when applied properly! ...

I want to give a big thank you to everyone at Port City Raceway, POWRi, and the National Open Wheel 600 Series. We had 180 entries on Friday night and 183 on Saturday. They also had a great nearly 90 entries on Thursday night for the DRC Sooner 55 event. Port City has been an amazing host the last two years.

Thank you Shane, Kenny, Talin, Terry, and every one of your staff and crew members.

Thank you Hoss, Jimmy, and everyone at Start2Finish.

Thank you to my family and friends who came out to support and help me with anything I needed and to my dad for helping with some of the sponsor work this year. He wasn’t able to make it, but thank you to everyone who asked about him.

Last, but not least, thank you to all the fans, race teams, and our incredible sponsors. Without all of you this event would not have made it 21 years. This year was not one of the biggest sponsorship dollar events I’ve had, but it definitely was one of the most rewarding. Seeing crew members light up when we told them the gift bags were for them, was just plain awesome.

Everyone above is amazing - thank you all from the bottom of my heart ❤️🏁❤️🏁❤️🏁
