This is the second season that Central Welding Supply has sponsored Mike and Roger Burt with Nitrogen gas. Mike said, “Due to the nature of our cars we are unable to run air bleeders. So, the Nitrogen allows us to maintain constant pressure in the tires during the races. It benefits us a ton! We are very grateful for the sponsorship, and we’re both looking forward to the next race.

Roger moved into 13th rank for the season, and Mike holds 26th in the Hornet Class 2022 season standings. Follow the Hornet Class season standings on the Skagit Speedway website.

Central Welding Supply is a happy sponsor and wishes both Mike and Roger the best of luck through the remainder of the season!
