Team Sahlen will be partnering with Discovery Parts to kick off a brand new video series that will be called “Endurance Driving Tips”. The series will be hosted by Team Sahlen’s very own Will Nonnamaker. A racer since he was old enough to ride a Big Wheel, Will will share his vast experiences from 30+ years of Endurance Racing – with many of those tips being what he has learned what not to do when racing on road courses for hours on end.
Heather Warner of Discovery Parts shared her excitement over the new series – “Discovery Parts is all about helping out the new and experienced racer get going out on the race track. With this new Driving Tips Series with Team Sahlen, we have the opportunity to extend that service beyond just product knowledge. With Will Nonnamaker’s many, many years of Endurance Racing, we will be able to bring tips and techniques to the racer that will make their time behind the wheel a little bit more safe, a little bit more enjoyable and even perhaps a bit more fast around the track.”
Each episode will be short 5-10 minute video that will focus on topics such as: Proper Mirror alignment, managing restarts, steering wheel hand placement, and much more. And from time to time, the video series will feature special guests drivers providing their key insights into being an Endurance Sports Car Driver.
Will Nonnamaker shared his thoughts on the Video Series. – “We started a series 2 years ago called Unusual and Unordinary Endurance Racers. It has become a big hit. And then we had the idea of expanding with a series on Endurance Driving Tips. With Discovery Parts being the source for safety and racing gear, they were the perfect partner to present this series. I think this will be a very fun and engaging series that each new episode will be greatly anticipated by racers and fans alike.”
Discovery Parts and Team Sahlen will also be partnering throughout 2025 with at track partnership including offering Discovery Parts catalogs to racers at the track to help them get their latest gear for the next race. This will include adventures at such famous tracks as Daytona International Speedway, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Sebring International Raceway, Watkins Glen International and Pittsburgh International Race Complex.
