GEARWRENCH to Sponsor Mother-Daughter Racing Team’s ARCA Menards Series West Journey
GEARWRENCH announced that the company is the official sponsor of Bridget Burgess and the BMI Racing team. Bridget, 19, has been driving ARCA West since 2019 with her mom Sarah Burgess, a former short-course off-road racer, as crew chief. Bridget's passion for everything that goes into driving—building, tuning, and repairing cars to deliver peak performance—was inspired by her mother.
It is that passion that made GEARWRENCH's 2021 ARCA Menards Series West sponsorship an easy decision for the company.
“They’re just relentless,” said Rena Fiorello, Director of Brand Management for GEARWRENCH. “The intensity that they bring is contagious and it makes them easy to root for, easy to get behind. We’re really looking forward to watching Bridget grow as a driver and helping her every step of the way.”
The upcoming nine-race ARCA Menards Series West season starts on March 12 and runs through November 11.
