sconi.com rides again at Kansas Speedway with Isaac Johnson Racing.

Recently Kristi and I had the honor of riding along with Isaac Johnson Racing as he rocked a sconi.com decal once again on his Greg Van Alst Motorsports #34 Mustang around Kansas Speedway!

The race, an ARCA Menards Racing Series event featured 28 drivers and aired on FS1. Isaac qualified P13, and brought it home clean with a P9 finish.

This was the fourth time we’ve ridden along with Isaac. We’re thrilled to have been a small part, and look forward to the next opportunity. Well done Isaac!

sconi.com rides the high banks of Daytona with Isaac Johnson Racing.

Once again Kristi and I are honored to ride along with Isaac Johnson Racing as he rocks a sconi.com decal on his Greg Van Alst Motorsports #34 Mustang around the high banks at Daytona International Speedway!

This was Isaac’s second start in the ARCA Menards Racing Series as he qualified P9 out of 50 drivers that took time. The Daytona ARCA 200 aired on FS2 on February 16, 2024. For his second time in an ARCA Series car, and first time at a Super Speedway, Isaac did a great job keeping his car clean for the entire race while avoiding several close calls and crashes.

On the last restart and the final lap he was running P15 in the lead pack when cars just ahead of him got together causing a huge wreck that unfortunately collected Isaac as well. He took a hard hit nose first into the fence and was scored P18 at the end. We later learned that he was not injured.

This was the second time we’ve ridden along with Isaac, and we look forward to more opportunities in the future.

Kristi and I are proud to have been a small part of Isaac’s debut in the Arca Racing Series at Indianapolis Raceway Park. The race aired on FS1 August 11, 2023. For his first time in these cars and on this track, he drove the #93 Costner Weaver Motorsports Chevrolet to a 12th of 25 finish after 200 laps. From sim racing, to carts, midgets, late models, and most recently the Arca Racing Series, Isaac’s journey is just beginning.

It was pretty cool to see him rocking our sconi.com decal on his ride, we wish him all the best!

MFPA’s Director of North America Jim March, with Thrive Global.

Here’s a recent clipping from a piece published at Thrive Global… Posted on September 2, 2019.

Social Impact Heroes: Jim March of the Association of Mouth Foot Painting Artists of North America are helping disabled artists to become self-sufficient by teaching them to paint by mouth.

We have an artist out in California named Dennis Francesconi. Dennis is a Full Member of MFPA, meaning he receives an income from the Association (versus our student members who receive monthly scholarships for training, materials, assistance and well-being), which he will receive for the rest of his natural life — even if his health worsens and he is no longer physically able to paint. Dennis was, because of his membership, able to go into the Social Security office and say to them, “I no longer need government aid.” The sheer importance of this act cannot be understated; that he, a person living with a profound disability, was able to take care of not only his own financial well-being, but that of his family. There really are no words to fully articulate the tremendous sense of freedom he has been able to achieve.
