“Having been a longtime friend, advocate, and supporter of Five Star Race Car Bodies, I’m extremely excited for the opportunity to join the Five Star team. As the dirt racing market continues to evolve with new technologies and an increased focus on body panel durability, ease of installation, and aerodynamics, there are many new and more desirable options than have been available previously. Five Star is the unquestioned leader in the industry in designing and producing these body components which are designed to save racers and teams a lot of manual labor while also providing a flame retardant, durable, easy to use product. I look forward to representing the MD3 brand and Five Star with a stronger presence in the field of dirt racing to foster relationships and to communicate with teams, chassis builders and sanctioning bodies to fine tune existing products and to seek out new product opportunities that fit the needs of the industry and to provide the best products possible.” said Dan.
