Last Event (Richmond):

Qualified fourth; First round exit (defeated by Dan Mercier in E1)

Noteworthy:

Quotable:

“We are considering bringing out the backup car for the remaining schedule of the 2025 season. We know that car was hauling the mail in last year’s Countdown and the car reacted well to every move we told it. This year’s car just has not responded in the same manner for one reason or another, so if this is the case, I’m looking forward to driving the car that we ran so well with at the end of last year. I need to focus on me and not try to push so hard. I have a great team, great cars, and the best parts money can buy. I just need to be patient and good things will come. Nothing but positive vibes heading to Norwalk.”
