Malibu local Austin Dyne has signed with Bob Bruncati’s Sunrise Ford Racing team to contest the 2012 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Championship. Dyne, 20, will make his K&N debut at the series April 14 round at Havasu 95 Speedway. He has experience with karts, Skip Barber Formula cars and other racing vehicles.
Dyne, son of apparel company William Rast CEO Colin Dyne, will carry the William Rast livery the late Dan Wheldon drove to victory at last year’s Indy 500.
“It’s an honor for me carry the same livery Dan drove to the win at Indy, and to be able to compete at this level in the sport he so loved,” Dyne said.
