Justin Swanstrom Offers Opportunity to Drive No Prep Kings Race Car for 2024 Season
As the No-Prep Kings Series continues to evolve, there is a good mix of drivers that came from the original street-based series and some newcomers as well.
We reported about a year ago that Manny Buginga had put his No-Prep Kings car up for lease for the 2023 season.
Now, Justin Swanstrom is taking a page from Buginga’s playbook, offering up his race-winning screw-blown HEMI-powered 2018 Lexus for the 2024 season.
It’s winter, it’s cold, and Sick the Mag has ways for you to stay warm while rocking the Sickest gear, including this new zip-up hoodie! It’s just one of the great merch options available at Sick the Mag.
There have been more than just a few racers that have been successful on the prepped side that have jumped to the no-prep side, including Lizzy Musi, Rich Bruder, Jim Howe, Larry Larsen and Jeff Lutz.
Buginga made his presence known with multiple wins on the 2022 No-Prep series, and Swanstrom has picked up multiple wins in advancing to the Invitational side of the series, including a win in 2023.
The opportunity to run this car is all-inclusive, as it’s a full operation with the car, transportation, and a full crew. “You fly in, drive and fly out,” said Justin. “You will start out in the NPK Future class and work your way like I did into the Invitational class.”
Several racers have expressed interest in trying out a No Prep Kings event; who do you think could be in the seat for 2024?
