got some super nice equipment and we're more prepared than ever; we
just need a title sponsor to see our season through." (Kimmel PR)

year than it was at this point last year. However, the Andy Belmont
Racing team is enjoying their success as well. As a driver,
I’m excited to be returning with them and hope for a strong
run," offered the former NASCAR Nationwide driver. With a stout entry
list set for the first Pocono Race of the season, Graham may be

to do it for Michigan, Cayuga and Kentucky. However, we’re
working hard to try and increase my current ARCA schedule with Win-Tron
Racing. This is where I want to be. It’s a great team
surrounded by knowledgeable people but we need to acquire the proper
sponsorship in order to make that happen. We’re working
around the clock to try and make it a reality.” (Win-Tron PR)
