Cody Williams bolted on a new pair of CSI tuned Penske Shocks for the first time two weeks ago and found victory lane immediately.

We are glad they did, Cody Williams victory marked the 60th Feature win on the year for Competition Suspension. When the season started Garrett was working a 40 hour week at Andretti-Green Racing and building shocks for customers at night.

Eight short months later we are getting ready to move to a bigger shop, have two employees and 60 Feature Wins.
As we continue to grow our core principles will remain the same, Un-Matched quality and customer service. You will continue to see us at race tracks all over the country next season working with our customers, developing better valving combinations to keep you ahead of the pack.
