This past weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park, Spencer Pigot took the pole for both races, earning $1000 from California Scents while Felix Serralles and Ashley Freiberg not only scored their first victories in the Skip Barber National, they each passed more cars in their respective victories and will receive $500 each from California Scents.
“I can tell you from first-hand experience that Skip Barber Racing School trains some of the best drivers in the world”, said California Scents founder Gus Doppes. “California Scents is proud to come on board to support these young drivers in the early part of their racing careers.”
“In a tough racing economy where both drivers and series struggle, contingency awards raise awareness for the series are a great help for our racers”, noted Todd Snyder, VP of Competition at Skip Barber Racing School. “We are happy to have California Scents come on board to support both Skip Barber Racing School and the drivers of the BFGoodrich/Skip Barber National Presented by Mazda.”
