For Drag Illustrated Founder and Editorial
Director Wes Buck, it was a thrill to welcome
new partners to the WSOPM fold, while also
maintaining the strong support from long-
time sponsors.
“It’s just incredible and so humbling that
we’ve received so much support from these
companies,” Buck said. “I can’t even begin to
describe how meaningful it is to have partners
like One Cure and J&A Service, helping take this
race to new levels. It’s just remarkable they’ve
believed in this race so much to support it like
they have.
“And then to add companies like Elite Mo-

doing the right things with this race and people
are taking notice. It’s truly exciting to see this
support and I can’t thank them all enough.”
