We were not able to give him the opportunity to be as successful as he could have been because of the loss of our sponsor. Mark is a great driver, a great person and I will continue to support him in any way that I can in his racing career.” Billy Ballew Motorsports currently sits in 14th position in the CTS owners point standings.
