(February 2026) – Pontello Motorsports is proud to announce a new partnership with Bostick Motorsports, a North Carolina–based racing operation rooted in multi-generational motorsports tradition. The partnership brings together two organizations that share a commitment to grassroots racing, technical excellence, and long-term development.
As part of this collaboration, Rickie Bostick will represent Pontello Motorsports on track while continuing to operate under the Bostick Motorsports banner — combining established racing heritage with professional-level support and resources.
A Partnership Built on Racing Heritage
Bostick Motorsports is the product of decades of involvement in North Carolina motorsports. Built through hands-on experience, family tradition, and sustained participation at the grassroots level, the program reflects a philosophy centered on preparation, respect for equipment, and racing done the right way.
Rickie Bostick’s racing journey has been shaped by this environment. Raised around race shops, trailers, and trackside problem-solving, he developed an understanding of racing t
hat extends well beyond the driver’s seat. That foundation continues to influence how Bostick Motorsports approaches competition today — with a focus on consistency, mechanical awareness, and accountability.
Regional Competition & Grassroots Focus
Competing throughout North Carolina and the surrounding southeastern region, Bostick Motorsports has remained a consistent presence in grassroots karting. The team’s experience spans a variety of tracks, surfaces, and competition formats, requiring adaptability and discipline to remain competitive season after season.
Rather than chasing isolated results, Bostick Motorsports has built its reputation on:
-
consistent race-night preparation,
-
intelligent race management,
-
and long-term participation within the regional racing community.
This steady, earned credibility made Bostick Motorsports an ideal partner for Pontello Motorsports as it continues to expand its reach across North America.
Shared Values on and off the Track
At the core of the partnership is a shared belief that strong racing programs are built on fundamentals — not shortcuts. Rickie Bostick’s driving style reflects that mindset, emphasizing tire management, situational awareness, and patience as tracks evolve throughout a race night.
Equally important is the professional conduct of the Bostick Motorsports operation. Known for its respectful paddock presence and willingness to engage with fellow racers, the team represents the kind of culture Pontello Motorsports seeks to align with as it grows its brand and partner network.

Through this partnership, Bostick Motorsports will gain access to Pontello Motorsports’ technical support, equipment alignment, and development resources. In return, Pontello Motorsports strengthens its presence in the southeastern United States by partnering with an established racing program that understands regional competition and community dynamics.
Rickie Bostick will continue competing under the Bostick Motorsports name while serving as an on-track representative for Pontello Motorsports — providing real-world feedback, competitive exposure, and professional representation across weekly and regional events.
