September 11th is a day whose impact and memory will never fade.

As a firefighter, 343 carries a meaning that goes far beyond racing. I proudly carry 343 on my Funny Car in honor of the 343 FDNY firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001.

Today, we remember them, every life lost, and every family forever changed by that day. Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

A catastrophic driveline failure ended our weekend earlier than we wanted. As a small team, we simply don’t have the parts, manpower or time to turn something like this around the way the bigger teams can. That’s one of the realities of doing more with less.

But one thing is clear — we have a race car capable of qualifying and competing at this level.

Indy has been incredible. The atmosphere, the fans and the opportunity to compete in the nitro category are something I’ll never take for granted. It’s a dream come true, and seeing our fan base continue to grow makes it even more special.

We’re building this program one race at a time, and we’re not done yet.
