A memorable one for Niki Arsham, driving the GoGoGear.com/ Konig Wheels Honda Civic.

This weekend was Niki Arsham’s first sprint race with USTCC. She had previously driven in our enduro races but had yet to complete a classic 30-minute race. She went out for Sunday qualifying and turned her fastest lap on her last lap. She qualified in sixth place, where she was looking forward to her first standing start with USTCC. At the start of the race, Arsham had a great launch and kept with the pack through turn 7. After a couple laps, she fell into a nice gap and had the track to herself. Which allowed her to focus on driving the K24 swapped Civic Si on the edge. When talking with Arsham after the race she described the standing start as, “An experience filled with adrenaline…such an addicting feeling!” After watching her clean and respectful race, Arsham shows promising talent at her young age.
