“First, I want to thank Farmer for everything he’s done for me and the boys this year. I’d also like to thank AJ, Sheldon, and Ryder for all of the hard work you’ve put in both at the shop and at the track. We have put together a great season,” he continued. “A huge thank you goes out to all of my sponsors as well. Your continued support makes opportunities like this possible, and I’m incredibly grateful to have you in my corner.”
