PeCoy will drive in the highly competitive GRC Gold Class after a stellar 2017 season where the high school racing star placed third in the final Red Bull Global Rallycross Lites standings with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing. The Esperanza High School junior recorded five main event podiums (including a second place at the Ottawa round) and six heat races wins. Travis was also the second fastest qualifier last year at Atlantic City (II). PeCoy will drive the No. 3 car for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing this year.

PeCoy made his Red Bull GRC Lites Series debut in 2016 with a second place in the Atlantic City feature and a heat race win. Travis comes from an off-road background where his father, Bobby, is a multi-time winner. Travis scored five off-road championships early in his racing career as well as taking a world championship.
