Teamwork Drives Rickett Performance Motorsports Forward
Supporting Racing, On and Off the Track
Justin’s relationship with Century Chemical goes beyond sponsorship—it’s a genuine partnership. “The relationship I have with Denyse, Pat, and their entire team is unique. They genuinely care about my success both on and off the track,” Justin shares.
Century Chemical’s impact extends beyond Justin’s team. Their products, like Travel Jon, provide essential sanitation solutions for campers, race teams, and fans, ensuring a smooth and comfortable race weekend experience.
A Setback That Fuels the Comeback
On September 21, 2024, the #17 Century Chemical Corporation (Rickett Performance Motorsports) Dirt Late Model was performing great and running fast at the Alabama State Championship race at East Alabama Motor Speedway. While moving up in positions, another driver collided with Justin’s car, leaving the #17 Century Chemical Corporation Dirt Late Model completely totaled.
On October 3rd, Justin shared an update:
“We’ve finally had a little time to start assessing the damage of the #17 Century Chemical Corporation Dirt Late Model, and it’s actually worse than we originally thought. The list of salvageable parts is unfortunately shorter than we had hoped, and it’s going to be impossible to get back on the track this year. I can’t say thank you enough to the Century Chemical team for all their support and understanding during this difficult time. We will regroup and come back stronger in 2025!”
But in under a month, Rickett Performance Motorsports had the body of something new—a fresh start, built with determination and grit. The team has been working tirelessly to prepare for 2025, ready to make their redemption story one to remember.

For the upcoming season, Justin has three main goals:
✔ Win more races
✔ Enjoy the journey
✔ Continue providing value to his partners
Additionally, he has his sights set on one day competing in the Snowball Derby, a major milestone in his racing career.
