Donnie Mingus, President and CEO of Team Construction, who has long had a strong passion for short track racing stated, “In my teen years I followed Gardner Racing out of Louisville, Ky when they raced in the ASA series.” He went on to say, “I am a true fan of the sport and I am pleased to be on board this year helping the racers race.”
