A Local Triumph
Cassten Everidge, a 28‑year‑old Longmont native, stepped onto the track at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park last weekend, becoming the first resident of the city to enter a NASCAR national series event.
The TSport 200, a 200‑lap Craftsman Truck Series race, served as a warm‑up for the upcoming Brickyard 400 in the Cup Series, giving fans a preview of the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s storied layout.
Everidge, who has been balancing his racing ambitions with a full‑time position at Energy Storage Systems, drove the No. 93 Chevrolet for Costner Motorsports, a team that has been gaining attention for its blend of veteran guidance and fresh talent.
The driver’s family roots run deep in the Midwestern racing circuit; his father and grandfather were celebrated figures on regional tracks, a legacy that has shaped his approach to competition and perseverance.
Sponsorship from Longmont‑based Hand Print Ink not only highlighted local business support but also underscored the community’s role in nurturing emerging talent, a partnership that Everidge says fuels his motivation.
