The final touch was added this week when the car was wrapped with the familiar 101, supporters, and a few twists.

RACE 101 graduates were quite vocal in their apprecation of being put on the race car.

After a successful test at Hickory last month the team went to Kenly, North Carolina to test at Southern National Motorsports Park. The car wasn't to the liking of Sanborn or Blanchard, so they cut the front end apart and made minor tweaks to the design. Upon returning to Hickory early last week, Sanborn's was only response when asked how it ran: "bad fast".
