“I Just had an epic day riding on the new surface at Chuckwalla! The track feels like it did 11 years ago when I first fell in love with this place! I have to give a huge shout-out to the entire CVR crew that spent countless hours during the summer working so diligently to make this track ready for the upcoming CVMA season,” said Dale Kieffer, three-time CVMA #1 plate-holder and owner of Racers Edge Performance, the Western U.S. Dunlop Race tire distributor.
