There is also John Bolen from Jasper, AL, who has Tony Eury Sr, an industry stalwart, and the innovative Fury HP Elite combo. Byron, MI’s Erik Jones also promises to stir up the track with his Port City HP Elite.
A special mention must go to Johnny Sauter from Deforest, WI. Known for his aggressive yet precise tactic, Sauter will certainly be one to watch. As always, our eyes are on Noah Gragson from Mooresville, NC, a seasoned challenger known for his selflessness in regard to team strategy.
