F
or almost 30 years, Atlanta’s Ricky Sanders has turned laps in everything
from NASCAR Trucks and Sportsman Series, to ARCA and Hooters Pro Cup races, and most recently, in the SCCA Regional and Trans-Am divisions. And somehow, in between race dates, Sanders has been able to find time to build his manufacturing and distribution empire under the Ricky Sanders Racing banner. In his 30,000 square foot plant,
Sanders has become an industry leader in the production of pitboxes and pit carts. “We focus on what we call ‘mobilized
organization’. I’ve been around long enough to know what someone will need pit side. Customers do come to us with some specific ideas, and we can easily in- corporate their needs in a custom design,” explains Sanders. All work is done in-house, his 22 em-
ployees constructing these racing essen- tials from start to finish. All aluminum construction, the RSR pitboxes are CAD designed, laser cut, and computer folded, producing a durable and efficient, work and storage platform. Alongside of his manufacturing division, Ricky Sanders Racing is also involved with race trailer sales, buying, selling and consigning trailers.
He combines this portion of his business with sales of team transporters, hospitality trailers and motor and ‘toter’ homes. And, as if that weren’t enough, Ricky Sanders Racing has also leapt into the 21st century, adding Inviron state-of-the-art Gaming Systems
and Simulation Technology Tours to the growing empire. “It keeps us pretty busy, that’s for sure, but you do what you have to do to keep the race wheels turning,” laughs Sanders. For more information on Ricky Sanders Racing products, visit their website. •

American Road Racing’, a claim that no one could dispute. Te legendary circuit, located in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of New York State, is celebrating its 65th anniversary in 2013 and in its long history ‘the Glen’ has hosted races for Formula One, Indy cars, sports cars and NASCAR stock cars. And the tra- dition of offering top flight racing will continue again next year. Opening their professional cal- endar with the Sahlens Six Hours of the Glen for Rolex SportsCars (June 30), their racing season will conclude on September 8 with the Glenora Wine Cellars US Vintage Grand Prix, run in conjunction with the Grand Prix Festival in the Village of Watkins Glen. Te highlight of Glen’s racing schedule however, will undoubtedly be the return of NASCAR’s two premiere divisions, the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series, on the August 8-11 weekend. “Tis is always a special weekend for the fans and we hope to be able to keep them happy with the same great racing again this year,” says Betsy Mayer, the Glen’s public relation director. “In the off-hours, we’ve planned a concert for the Friday night and we will have an army of vendors, those that follow the NASCAR tour and some local sellers, prepared to send the fans home with some great mementos from the weekend.” Away from the racetrack, fans can fill their hours by touring the Watkins Glen State Park and the Finger Lakes Wine Country, or by visit- ing the Glen Museum and Resource Centre in town. Should they care to venture a little further afield, 20 miles to the south, in the town of Corning, New York, fans can visit either the Corning Museum of Glass or the Rockwell Museum of Western Art.
