“BJ McLeod Motorsports is thrilled to welcome Scott Heckert back for another race,” said BJMM’s co-owner, BJ McLeod. “I met Scott when he was 17 years old and joined a racing class that I instructed at Finish Line Racing School. He ran his first race with BJMM in 2016 and we are thrilled to have him back at the track. Our team enjoys watching him continuously grow as a driver.”
Heckert’s primary sponsor for the race is Malco Automotive Products. Malco Automotive is a Malco Products, Inc. brand that has supplied the automotive industry with high-quality, professional-grade cleaning and detailing products since 1953.
“Malco is honored to once again be the primary sponsor of the BJMM No. 5 Chevrolet,” said Malco president, Seth Glauberman.” “The Malco family enjoyed watching Scott earlier this year when he raced at Circuit of Americas, and we are excited to cheer him on this Sunday when he races at Portland International Raceway.”
“The goal for Portland is to build on some of the positives we took away from our last race out at COTA,” said Xfinity Series driver, Scott Heckert. “It will be great to experience a new track and take advantage of the added practice time to get our car where it needs to be for the race. Thanks again to Malco for coming on board. The car is looking sharp and we’re hoping to get them a great result.”
