NASCAR driver Cole Whitt is on the up and up; he will pilot the Premium Motorsports No. 98 in this years’ upcoming spectacle with the support of Speed Stick®. This will be the first appearance for Whitt and the No. 98 Speed Stick® brand team. They will be launching what we hope will be a fantastic year at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 4-6.
“I’m really excited and grateful for the opportunity to go racing with Premium Motorsports and continue my relationship with Speed Stick®,” Whitt said. “Jay Robinson is a smart businessman and has grown his team the right way over the years, and I’m really looking forward to being a part of that growth. The 2015 season was great for me as a driver. We had some important personal victories and some areas where we’ll want to improve.”

We’re going to have a diverse mix of experience with our drivers, which, I think, is going to be a big benefit for everyone.”
