It was an intense experience, as practices, qualifying, and heat races at the highest level\u2014where I learned from every lap, every battle, and every moment on track. I am proud to represent Mexico and grateful to Carroll Speedshop, my family, and the fans who support me every step of the way.<\/br><\/br>Diego commented at the finish line.<\/h5><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
