Driver Spotlight: “The Phantom” Kevin Sibley

Each Friday on TimsCorner.ca, we will spotlight one driver who runs Tim’s Corner Motorsports stickers on their cars throughout the season. Drivers who run Tim’s Corner Motorsports stickers can fill out the form at the bottom of the Driver Profiles page to get their listing on that page. In addition, we will pull one file each Friday and give them their extra spotlight here in the Driver Spotlight section.

Driver Spotlights each week are brought to you by Imaginit Designs and Signs at 202 Brownlow Drive in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia’s Burnside Industrial Park. Imaginit Designs and Signs is the official sticker supplier for Tim’s Corner Motorsports in 2013. For more information, visit their website at www.imaginitdesign.com or give them a call at (902) 444.2000 – and be sure to thank them for their support of TimsCorner.ca!
