DiBenedetto on the NASCAR Salutes Weekend:
“I’m really excited to have Cosmo Motors back with us at Go Fas Racing. Cosmo is one of my best friends and he’s been a huge help with my career. It’s really cool that we’re able to use this race, the longest one of the season, to honor our fallen military members. My brother is currently in the military so this is very close to my heart and my family. We’re very thankful for our military and know that we wouldn’t have the freedom to do what we love and be with the people we love without them fighting for us. I want to personally thank the family of Capt. Kyle Comfort for allowing us to honor him.”
