All three of these companies bring great business-to-business and business-to-consumer opportunities to our paddocks; we’re thrilled to have them on board.”
Pristine Auction has been named the Official Sports Memorabilia Online Auction of SpeedTour. Pristine Auction is a family owned and operated online auction, specializing in autographed memorabilia, sports cards, coins, art and collectibles. Since its founding in 2010, they have grown from a spare bedroom to two facilities in Phoenix, Ariz., totaling over 60,000 square feet. The company works directly with the leading authentication companies to ensure all items are 100% authentic. Additionally, they have leading third-party authenticators that regularly visit Pristine Auction to provide on-site authentication services. Pristine Auction offers several online auction formats with thousands of auctions ending each day.
“We’re proud to partner with SpeedTour,” said Doug Houvener, Sr. Director, Marketing for Pristine Auction. “Together, we look forward to offering enthusiasts access to genuine memorabilia, capturing the heart and excitement of diverse racing experiences. This partnership accelerates our shared mission to make every bid a celebration of the thrill, speed, and passion found on the track with SpeedTour.”
Joe Jurgielewicz & Son, Ltd. becomes the Official Duck Supplier of Trans Am and SVRA. The home of ‘America’s Tastiest Duck,’ Joe Jurgielewicz & Son, Ltd. has a history of over 90 years and four generations, employing over 200 Pennsylvanians while partnering with 27 local farms. The company is one of the leading Pekin duck suppliers in North America and focuses on sustainability and the humane treatment of their free-roaming antibiotic and hormone-free ducks.

JRi Shocks joins PMH as an Authorized Shock Supplier of Trans Am, FR Americas and F4 U.S. JRi Shocks provides shock technology across all Open Wheel and Road Racing Series including F4 U.S., FR Americas, Formula 1600, Formula 2000, Formula Atlantic, Formula E, Formula Ford, Formula Vee, Hill Climb-Time Attack, Historic and Vintage Racing, Indy Car, Formula ‘E’, IMSA, NASA, Pirelli World Challenge, Pro Mazda, SCCA, Trans Am, V8 Supercar and World Endurance Challenge.

“We are excited to partner with Parella Motorsports Holdings, and especially F4 U.S. again, as I began my suspension career in open wheel, so it’s near and dear to my heart,” states Jeff Ryan, Founder and Vice President Engineering, JRi Shocks, LLC. “JRi Shocks were homologated onto the F4 U.S. chassis from the series inception in 2016. We have been advocates for this racing series from the beginning, as it supports drivers’ move from karts to cars, and eventually on to other FIA-regulated Open Wheel Series. As we expand into commercial automotive markets this partnership allows fans and competitors alike the ability to recognize JRi not only on the racecars, but cars they daily drive.”
The 2024 SpeedTour season begins on February 22-25 at Sebring International Raceway where the Trans Am Series and SVRA will have their first green flags of the season. FR Americas and F4 U.S. will kick off their race seasons at NOLA Motorsports Park, April 11-14. Tickets for all SpeedTour events can be purchased at SpeedTour.net.
