It's an incredible honor for Jim Hardy to be selected to work with Team USA, especially collaborating with the talented Joel Hetrick. As the mechanics diligently prepare all the machines, tools, and containers, the excitement for this fantastic event is reaching new heights.

Emotions run high this year with the same winning team as last year, featuring racers Joel Hetrick, Chad Wienen, and Bryce Ford, who dominated every race and qualified. The stress is real, and the outcome remains uncertain, adding to the intensity of the journey.
