campaign a car in the Street Stock class at Penticton Speedway as well as select Avion RS1 Series races at Area 27 for the 2022 season. Dunseith has been racing in the Street Stock division since she was 16 in a
car built by her grandfather and Crew Chief Andy Dunseith, a long-time racer, and a previous owner of Penticton Speedway (1982-1994). The two make a remarkable team and have many accomplishments

“I am absolutely thrilled, it’s great to know that all of my hard work and dedication is being recognized
and I am getting this great opportunity. My grandfather is so excited to be included as well, this is a unique situation, Trevor made it clear that he wanted him to stay on as Crew Chief as he didn’t want to break up
a great team”. Ellie Dunseith, Development Driver, Avion Motorsports Inc.
