PENNGROVE, Calif. — After joining forces last August, Chase Johnson and Quinn Motorsports will continue together racing a traditional outlaw sprint car schedule in the Golden State.
Last year saw Johnson bounce back and forth in several different rides throughout California and the Midwest. For the upcoming campaign, he looks forward to competing in the same car on a more consistent basis.
“Finding a consistent home here on the West Coast is something I have been in search of this past year,” Johnson said. “I see a great potential for success having the chance to do it with Sean Quinn and Tyler Silva. Sean has a fantastic mindset and belief in our ability as a team. We were quick at all the races we did last year and I believe with what he has in place going into this season, we can be a contender every weekend.”
The team plans to run approximately 40 winged sprint car events this season. Rather than focusing on points, the team will run a mixed bag of races, including all the big winged 360 shows in Northern and Central California. The team also plans to run select winged 410 events as well.
“Quinn Motorsports is very excited to have Chase Johnson at the wheel and Tyler Silva turning the wrenches on our No. 28 winged sprint car this year,” said team owner Sean Quinn. “We found some good chemistry last year and we look forward to building off that and putting together some good runs this season. We are a Service Orientated / Faith Based race team that has been blessed to partner with Our Heroes Dreams organization. Our mission is to introduce our Veterans and First Responders to the motorsports community at the races and celebrate their service and sacrifice for our country.”
Silva is also eager to get the year underway.
“I‘m excited and very thankful for the opportunity that Sean and his family have given me. Last year we ended it with some good speed, so, hopefully, we can carry that into 2022,” he said. “The offseason is going by fast and I can‘t wait to get the year started. Hopefully, we can make the most out of it with good results everywhere we run.”
