Buildings By Design - Pat Walter was the first to jump on board this year in a big way and take a chance with Hunter!
Slick Spot Farm and Auto - Mike Lapp, him and his crew helped keep our race trailer in top shape, mounted all of our tires, fixed everything dad broke on the truck and trailer, supported Hunter through the year and most importantly kept all of our work truck on the road while we were out chasing points
Western Engineering and Consultants- Chad and Merrie Cox took a chance to take over the hood when the season started and Hunter did his best to showcase it. Chad and his family made it out several times and got to watch feature wins take place!

Golden Belt Bank- Thank you Glen for working out a deal with Hunter and Renee for always getting our business deals done keeping our business running
Vortex Tools- Tom Hayes, Thanks for the tool sponsorships and support Hunter
Moon Racing- Danny Concelman jumped on midway through the season and always shuffled our shocks back and forth to get revalved whenever we needed it. Maybe in the upcoming years we can run with you door to door when we look to move up in the future
BST Promotions- Joe Bellm, Thank you for your sponsorship, tips and advice to Hunter. Also Thank you for the tracks you kept open this year, without those tracks this wouldn't have happened

Now the fab/chassis/suspension guys
Charger Chassis- Jamie Richards, this guy builds awesome cars and gets alot of credit. We met him at his shop after picking up our 2020 Charger back in March. Jamie has been a big supporter and whenever a question or advice was needed he would answer the phone and chat. These cars are built very well, safe and these things are fast. We obviously would recommend his Charger Chassis to anyone out there looking. We are proud to be friends and run the Charger brand!
KH Suspension- Blake Harris and Nick Kerlin, after a couple long phone calls Blake got us setup with a shock and spring combo that got more precise as our year went on. Blake explained how our combo would and pit Nick to work building our shocks. Nick took very good care of us through the season getting shocks revalved and tweaked to get the most possible out of our shocks. We look forward to your new stuff in 2022. These guys got us hooked up with Swift Springs and Frank Simonetti, the KH Shocks and Swift springs made for great combination for a new Rookie driver
Money Bags- DJ Banks, thank you for all the nitty work whenever we needed something in a pinch, I don't know how many times you had to cut axles after I measured wrong 🙂. Thanks for our dash, it only got bent 1 time! Thanks for helping us as well as your dad Dave and setting up with Kevin to straighten the frame after we bent the front end
Jesse Taylor- Thanks for always checking on us through the year, relocating our seat, steering a pedals to fit Hunter at the start. Thanks for getting us buttoned up for our trip to Boone with spare part a and pieces. The hot lap sessions we went to were priceless last year getting Hunter comfortable in a car.
