QUOTES:

Parker Chase – No. 15 Vertical Bridge Toyota Camry

Regarding the Daytona Race: “We had a really good test at Daytona in January and I’m looking to build on the experience gained in the five races I did in 2021. This will be my first-time racing on the super speedway oval. Kevin Reed and the crew have been working hard to make sure we have everything we need to battle for the win. Very happy to have Vertical Bridge on the car for this race and for a majority of our races in ARCA in 2022 and hope we can put them in Victory Lane.”

Corey Heim – No. 20 Crescent Tools Toyota Camry

Regarding the Daytona Race: “I’m really looking forward to starting my limited arca season with Daytona. Venturini Motorsports always brings great Camrys to the racetrack, and a superspeedway is no exception. Last year we had great success at both speedway races, and I’m excited to try and back that up in 2022. Crescent Tools being on our Camry this weekend is also very exciting, being their first ever race with Venturini Motorsports!”
