CHICAGO, IL - May 7, 2026, Team Stange Racing, LLC (TSR) is proud to announce the launch of its premier NASCAR Limited Late Model development program, headlined by a primary partnership with Dignity Gold, LLC. This collaboration brings Dignity Gold's ecosystem to the forefront of American motorsports, merging precious metals with high-performance racing.
The program marks a significant expansion for the Chicago-based outfit, establishing a dedicated pipeline for elite talent. Mexico City native Paul Jourdain, a professional racing driver with a championship pedigree, has been selected as the program's inaugural driver. Paul will pilot the No. 79 Ford Mustang, featuring a flagship livery dedicated to Dignity Gold and its DIGau security token, available only to non-U.S. and qualified institutional buyers ("QIBs").
"The alignment with Dignity Gold represents a fusion of traditional value and future-forward vision," said John Stange, Jr., CEO of Team Stange Racing. "Just as Dignity Gold aims to provide a foundation through the DIGau token, this program provides a high-performance foundation for the next generation of racing stars.
We are incredibly proud to carry the Dignity Gold colors as we return to the track this summer." "It is great to bring the Dignity brand back to the track with Team Stange and NASCAR," added David Weild IV, Chairman of Dignity Gold. "We look forward to seeing how this partnership will develop over time and to supporting the Dignity car in its return to competition."
Joining the effort as a Co-Primary Sponsor is SLABHARD®. "Representing a brand like SLABHARD®, known for durability and professional-grade performance, is a natural fit for our team as we push for the podium," said Paul Jourdain. "SLABHARD®'s reputation for engineering high-performance concrete floor coating systems for demanding automotive environments reflects the same grit, precision, and reliability we bring to the racetrack. SLABHARD® products and systems are specifically designed to withstand chemical spills, hot tire pickup, and heavy use while delivering both performance and appearance, and we're excited to showcase that strength to fans across the West Coast."
2026 Campaign Schedule The 2026 campaign will see Jourdain and the No. 79 Dignity Gold / SLABHARD® Ford Mustang compete at premier venues across the Western United States, including a high-profile debut in Nevada:
June 5: Las Vegas Bullring (Las Vegas, NV)
June 6: Las Vegas Bullring (Las Vegas, NV)
July 18: Kern County Speedway (Bakersfield, CA)
July 25: Orange Show Speedway (San Bernardino, CA)
By integrating the Dignity Gold and DIGau security token brands with the speed and reach of NASCAR-style racing, Team Stange Racing and Dignity Gold are set to reach a global audience of racing enthusiasts. "It is an honor to lead this initiative," said Jourdain. "To have a primary partner like Dignity Gold and the reliability of SLABHARD® supporting my development is incredible. The No. 79 Ford Mustang is going to be a front-runner, and my goal is to deliver victory lane results for the DIGau community and all our partners.

That’s completely untrue. We’ve never run any kind of phantom operation. You’re welcome to visit us anytime by appointment and see firsthand how we operate. Sometimes sponsorships and racing circumstances affect outcomes but we’ve built our reputation over many years of doing this professionally.
We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Hanukkah and Happy New Year. Unfortunately, our announcement for this week has been delayed due to legal but we will be racing in 2023 with some cool plans to announce very soon.
