Scelzi Earns Top-15 in Gateway Debut
Gio Scelzi was part of a three-car effort for Bill McAnally Racing in the ARCA Menards Series at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Ill., scoring a top-15 finish.

Scelzi practiced 15th and started 16th in a starting lineup determined by showdown points. The Fresno, Calif., native improved coming out of the scheduled race break, driving the No. 16 NAPA AUTO PARTS / Curb Records Toyota Camry to a 13th-place
finish.
Teammate Jesse Love led among Bill McAnally Racing drivers with a fifth-place finish in the No. 19 NAPA Power Premium Plus Toyota Camry, while Gracie Trotter finished 12th in the No. 99 ENEOS Toyota Camry.
