Last night was opening night for the Bandoleros at Colorado National Speedway — and the future of racing is looking VERY bright.
Over 20 young drivers took the track, with nearly half of them racing for the very first time. These kids, ranging from 8–14 years old, showed incredible courage, determination, and sportsmanship all night long. Watching them line up on the track reminded us exactly why Puzzle Effect has proudly sponsored the Bandolero division for the past 5 years.
For us, this sponsorship has never been about putting our logo on a car.
It’s about showing up for these kids and their families.
Over the years, we’ve watched drivers grow up in this division and move into bigger racing series. Seeing that progression — both on and off the track — has been one of the most rewarding things we’ve ever been part of.
We try to support these young racers however we can:
🏁 Hero cards for every driver so fans can meet them in the pits and collect autographs
🏁 T-shirts for the kids and members of their pit crews
🏁 Escape room discounts for the families
🏁 Oversized water bottles because race days get HOT
🏁 High fives, encouragement, and support for EVERY driver — not just the winners
🏁 FREE race tickets for fans throughout the season
That’s right — every week the Bandoleros race, Puzzle Effect gives away 4 tickets to Colorado National Speedway. All you have to do is stop by the escape room and ask for them.
And this is one of those weeks.
The Bandoleros are back in action this Sunday, May 24, at Colorado National Speedway, and we’d love to help send a few more fans to the track to support these amazing young drivers.
Because this is about far more than trophies and finishing positions.
It’s about confidence.
It’s about learning.
It’s about family.
It’s about building memories these kids will carry forever.
We also want to recognize the parents, grandparents, siblings, and support systems behind these drivers. Racing is not an inexpensive hobby, and the amount of time, sacrifice, effort, and love these families pour into these kids is incredible to witness.
We are honored to be a small part of their journey and cannot wait to watch these young racers continue to grow this season.
If you’re at Colorado National Speedway this year, head down to the pits after the races and meet these amazing kids. The future of racing is happening right now.”
