Five Star at the DIRTcar WINTER Nationals

Trackside Recap with Dan Robinson

At our Florida Road Tour stop, we brought the full PRI Sprint Car Body display to the racetrack for the first time since PRI, and the response was immediate. The booth stayed busy all week as drivers, crew chiefs, and team owners stopped by to get a hands-on look at the new Five Star Sprint Car Body. Most of the questions centered around chassis fitment options, product weights, and the material differences between the three compositions. Racers also pushed us to think bigger, asking about expanding the lineup with wing caps, fuel cells, and lower panels. Dan spent significant time talking performance and future improvements with Barry Jackson, crew chief for Donny Schatz, as well as Tyler Courtney’s crew, reinforcing just how important in-person feedback is at this level. Seeing the product up close made an impact, with industry names like Barry Jackson, Kyle Pruitt, Brian Brown, Danny Lasoski, Emmett Hahn, and many others stopping by. Florida in February always brings the racing world into sharp focus, and it was especially powerful to see 10-time World of Outlaws Champion Donny Schatz charging from the back to the front in the Five Star body with CJB Motorsports. The product proved itself in one of the toughest sprint car series in the country. As the Road Tour continues to grow, it is clear we may need a bigger van and a larger crew to keep up with demand. Next up, we are planning to attend the Midwest Motorsports Expo in Rochester, MN on March 14, 2026.
