From Leah:
Pomona is going to be very challenging for all of us running the Winternationals in July. I take it back to when I’d run the Nostalgia series there and it was in the triple digits out and it will be similar to that this year. For us to have momentum rolling into Southern California is exactly what we need to finish up the Western Swing. We’ve started the season with Sparkling Ice before, so this will be familiar for us to have Spiked on the car in July and that’s a perfect fit. We have new life with this team and to have another fun, new livery is perfect, and to see friends and family and former racers will be great.
