“Racing at your home track is always special. We’re excited to have added the Western Swing and to make the trip out to Sonoma and Seattle. We have high expectations for our team and car. I’m grateful to continue representing Valley Services, Pleasanton Ready Mix, Adam’s Pool Solutions, and Platinum Cargo Logistics for these next two races. All of these companies have made their roots in Northern California for years. Being able to represent the Bay Area and race in the same region as your sponsors always means a lot.”
