Welcome to This Week on Trading Paints, the pulse on what’s happening in the Trading Paints world.

📞 Proving Grounds winner Joshua Wright gets the call

The winner of our latest Proving Grounds Challenge alongside our friends at Hunt the Front concluded last month with Joshua Wright winning the job designing the HTF crew’s wrap for September’s World 100 at Eldora Speedway.

Here’s the call to break the news to Joshua (around the 7:00 mark).

Joshua’s now hard at work designing the wrap with the team’s requirements. You’ll see the result soon!

🧑‍🎨 ICYMI: Brendan Lyons in the Spotlight
