After two successful years racing for Trifecta at the Chili Bowl Nationals, this partnership marks Faccinto's first touring venture outside the West Coast. The Hanford, CA native brings extensive open-wheel experience, including competitions in USAC National Midgets, World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, and Micro Sprints.

Key highlights of Faccinto's 2025 campaign:

  • Season opener at the World of Outlaws Illini 100 (Farmer City Raceway, April 10-12)
  • Xtreme-POWRi Challenge Series doubleheader at Coles County Speedway
  • Pennsylvania Xtreme Appalachian Midget Week

While most tracks on the schedule will be new to Faccinto, he's particularly excited about Coles County and the Pennsylvania venues, noting their similarity to California's tight bullring tracks. He's maintaining race readiness by competing in California Midgets, Winged Sprint Cars, and Micros during off-nights.

Faccinto reunites with crew chief Milliser, rekindling a successful partnership from several years ago. With strong team support and championship aspirations, this rookie campaign represents an exciting new chapter in Faccinto's racing career.
