CASSIDY HINDS RACING TEAM MISSION
I would like to take advantage of the incredible gift I’ve been given, by continuing to be a smooth driver, listening to constructive criticism and by taking the advice I receive and putting it to use on the race track as I further my career in racing. I hope to continue to be a role model for younger drivers and kids, not just at the race track but in school too. I do my best to go above and beyond what is expected of me in anything I do, to always treat other’s how I want to be treated and give 100% of myself on the track not just for me but for my team. As a team we work together to show sportsmanship whether winning or losing a race, to support and respect each other, the sport and every driver on the track.
