Series CEO and co-owner Matt Martelli says the partnership leverages SPEED SPORT 1’s massive reach to complement its other distribution platforms — thereby assuring the event gains the exposure and engagement that was envisioned since their inception.
“We are thrilled to partner with SPEED SPORT 1 to bring the Mint 400 to a global audience.
