Team owner, Kevin Buckler boasts over 150 trophies in the lobby of his Petaluma, CA based corporate office. Some of the team’s prestigious wins have been the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 24 Hours at Daytona (four times, including once overall from GT class), Petit Le Mans and numerous wins at iconic road courses such as Watkins Glen, Road America and Laguna Seca.

We post videos to Facebook after each race and they always get a ton of attention.” The Racer’s Group loves using the Animoto Original style. “The combination of high speed transitions and edgy effects perfectly evokes the speed and action of our races,” says Dickinson.TRG 300x183 Company Spotlight The Racer’s Group
