“I think it’s going to be really exciting for everybody,” Shaffer said. “It’s a good group of people and is going to make it fun again. I think that’s the key thing is making it fun for everybody. That’s what our sport is missing. We want to put that excitement back in it. I think we have the right group of guys to make that stuff happen.”

“We are excited to have Paul on board and think he brings a great amount of knowledge and respect to the Renegade Sprints,” Shane Helms said. “Adding Tim Shaffer to the mix of talented drivers is also thrilling. We have a great group of veterans and younger drivers so the future of the Renegade Sprints looks bright.”
Kistler is an engine builder with several championships under his belt. He is also the owner of Kistler Racing Products in Ohio.
“I think it’s going to be a good series,” he said. “It has a lot merit to it. It has some good people behind it. I think that there’s something that needs to be done. I’m excited for it. The success of it would be to get something going, get a points fund and get something going to keep owners in this sport. The biggest thing we need to do is keep owners in this sport.”
