K&N PRO SERIES WEST
Source — GSR Racing
Date Posted — January 12, 2012
Cassie Gannis will return with GSR Racing for a full season and make a run for
RTY honors. 17- year old Trevor Cristiani will be Cassie’s teammate and will make
his K&N racing debut and will also make a run for RTY honors. Greg Rayl, last
year’s full time driver for GSR, will be stepping out of the driver’s seat to play a
role of car chief/crew chief for both teams. “We had a great 2011 season improving
from 12th in points in 2010 to 11th in 2011”. Greg said, “Winning the NASCAR
sportsmanship award in 2010 was the highlight of my K&N career, but finishing a
couple races in the top ten this year came real close”!
GSR Racing is now providing opportunities for young drivers to experience the
next level of racing. Giving drivers a chance to learn while keeping racing fun and
exciting is our goal. “Too many young drivers get so serious at this level that they
forget to have any fun” said Rayl, “but we always try to have a good time even
when things don’t go our way. If our drivers can advance further in their racing
careers, we hope their time with us teaches them to enjoy what they are doing.”
