I’m grateful for not only his support of the event but also his friendship,� event promoter Chris Kearns said. “I’m really excited to see who wins the $25,000 Rio Grande Waste Services 50 presented by Shaw Trucking in January, and who knows, they might also be racing for a $300,000 Penske Shocks Paydirt Bonus that night too.�
