My whole life I have been surrounded by animals; I have always loved and cared for them no matter how big or how small. My father’s restoration shop in Mexico must have about ten dogs there, all rescues from the street. I definitely grew up knowing that animals aren’t just animals, they’re just as much part of families as are moms, dads, brothers, or sisters.

When the opportunity arose to partner with ZippyPaws, I seized it with both hands. I am not the kind of person to partner with any brand just like that, it has to be organic. There has to be some kind of a meaningful connection there. With ZippyPaws, I just couldn’t think of a more organic partnership. They believe dogs are family too, and they create the coolest, highest quality toys on the market with only one thing in mind: our dogs’ safety and enjoyment.

What’s more, ZippyPaws started in 2011 – the same year I moved to the US to follow my NASCAR dream. And while our stories are very different in nature, we have both achieved so much through hard work, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to what we believe in. For ZippyPaws, that means creating the best dog toys on the market, and for me, to become the best driver NASCAR has ever seen. I’m incredibly lucky to call them a partner, and more than that, we have become family!
