I couldn’t be more thrilled to work with Chris Wall, DJ Irvine, and their entire team on continuing to introduce both new and proven products to the dirt racing world.”
VP Racing will be fueling Longhorn Factory Team driver Brandon Sheppard throughout the 2024-2026 seasons, as well as keeping his livery in top condition.
