Poised for more success in the new year, Dollar will continue his development in the ARCA Series under the watchful eye of VMS’ General Manager, Billy Venturini, who will take over the crew chief responsibilities for the Atlanta, Georgia native during 2021. Toyota Development Driver, Drew Dollar will begin his season assault in the ARCA Menards Series’ season-opener at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, February 13.

This year I’m really looking forward to working with Billy Venturini; pairing with him on the pit box gives me the added confidence going into this season. Billy and I developed a great relationship away from the track and his passion and knowledge of the sport will help me become a better race car driver.” |
