What people are saying...
“
In his first season he proved that he is quick, clean, and he, along
with his father, Paul Sr., has learned how to make a midget go fast...we
all better watch out…this guy has learned his lessons and
he means business.”
~ Barry Angstadt, Area Auto Racing News
“PJ Gargiulo races with talent, plus
the energy and fire-in-the-belly that comes from youth.”
~ Mark Kielblock, Media Coordinator for ARDC
“It would have been an honor to lose to PJ, he’s
done a great job and had a great year.”
~ Six time ARDC champion Ray Bull
"It is refreshing to find someone with the enthusiasm that PJ
Gargiulo has. He is a throwback to the old days when drivers raced
just for fun."
~ Steve Bubb, Area Auto Racing News
“As he walked through the pits, you would’ve thought
that Gargiulo had won the feature.”
(After scoring his first podium finish in an intense
battle for the lead during his rookie season)
