      Sometimes it seems like he just needs a giant brick tied to his foot. Not being any kind of drifting expert it often seems like that's the biggest difference between him and Chelsea (in the RTR's), throttle commitment. I could be way off, obviously it's so much easier to pick apart driving after the fact.

    Glad I was at Atlanta and got to hang out with the team when they announced Vaughn’s win and Vaughn and the team stayed until everyone had the autographs they wanted. Vaughn and the whole RTR crew were awesome. Vaughn seen my kids was tired and made sure my family got to our vehicle safely. For that me and my family are very grateful. I am proud to have been a fan of Denofa and him win the championship. He will be missed for sure. Can’t wait for next year.

The kid is going to be a force, got to meet him and his father in St. Louis this past season and I believe they are the type of people that would fit right in with the RTR family.

    Just the culture alone sets RTR apart by leaps and bounds. Vaughn, youve built yourself an amazing team, from drivers to the pit crew. Everyone is dedicated and its clearly visible. Its such an awesome experience just to watch yall in action. I miss working for a shop/company where it just feels like a huge family. Because even on the worst days you got your "brothers and sisters" backing you up and bringing everything to the table. Yall are awesome, and while Chelsea is on to new horizons im super stoked to see what the 2024 season has in store for yall!

A few years ago I took a "promotion" to run a satellite location of our company, it's very small, and have only recently begun to realize why I'm often miserable going to work. There's something special about that family feel at work.
