New Jersey driver, Christian Bruno was one of many rookies to try their hand at the 2020, Rapid Tire, USAC East Coast Sprint Car Series schedule, joining the likes of his counterparts such as Kyle Spence, Joey Amantea, Kenny Miller and a host of others.
The young driver had a year of growing and experience, gradually improving as the races went on during the 2020 season. Christian Bruno and the Fauci Racing team, made eleven feature event starts on the 2020 series schedule, only missing two events due to conflicting schedules with their micro sprint program.
Christian had a solid year behind the wheel of a sprint car for the first time collecting four top ten runs in the eleven feature event starts he made during the season. Unfortunately the four top ten runs aren’t quite indicative of how well the young talent driver ran, as a number of unfortunate mechanical woes forced the driver to retire early from a handful of feature events.
The final event of the 2020 season was a great outing for Bruno and the Fauci team as they collected a pair of top ten finishes in the Twin 20’s program, with Bruno finishing a career best fifth in the second 20 lap feature event.
Look for Bruno and the Fauci Racing team to again return to the series trail for the 2021 season, running the majority of the feature events on the series schedule. In addition to running the sprint car again in 2021, Bruno and Fauci will travel to high dollar micro sprint races in the midwest, east coast, and run weekly at Action Track USA in micro sprint competition. Another ambitious schedule for Bruno and Fauci Racing who are a welcome addition to the Rapid Tire, USAC East Coast Sprint Car Series pit area.
