The Network
People we build with.
Mopar Direct Connection — the Stellantis performance parts program co-developing the next-generation Hemi with us.
Lee Faulk Racing — team-side development partner, Mooresville NC. The 25 is Lee Faulk’s number, and we run it on the test car at Florence with that history in mind.
