“After working with Mac, I was quickly impressed by his quality as a race car driver. He is very mature for his age and extremely dedicated. Our communication as a Driver/Engineer has been great since day one. He understands exactly what he needs from the car and how to give me feedback to make the car better. In my opinion, that is the most important factor to win championships. I’m excited about having Mac drive for my team in 2021 and even more excited for his future in racing.””
