“Ready to go into Vegas with the Matco Eagle Experience Top Fuel car. It’s really cool that Matco is utilizing our partnership to help promote this new initiative. The Eagle Experience is such a great way for people to see what Matco Tools is all about. It’s interactive, innovative, and it gives our fans a chance to see how Matco’s diagnostic tools help streamline the repair process. That being said, while we’re eager to get to Vegas, we’ll be racing with heavy hearts this weekend after the passing of Angelle’s (Sampey) father.”
