Sunday evening I received a phone call that I couldn’t pass up. Todd Burns called and stated he had let Ricky go that afternoon, and he would like to team up, moving forward. As this is exactly what me and my team needed, I had a lot of to-do’s before accepting. I wanted to make sure my sponsors, team, and family were on-board as all of us has put a lot of time and effort into creating my own deal. As being a “owner” it was really rewarding, but financially and equipment wise it was a no brainer to partner up with the SSI team. I am very thankful and fortunate Todd and Vickie want me back wheeling a Blue SSI #71 car. They helped me start my career in 2015 in Crates and have been nothing short of supportive through the years. I think a lot of them and their family, and I’m super excited to be back!
Moving forward, we will be racing a blue car but with all my sponsors and SSI’s sponsors as we are pleased they have agreed to stay on board through the season.
