"I had a very strong rookie season in 2014, and I was looking forward to being able to secure a drive for 2015.

I am very pleased to have been chosen for this opportunity, and I know I am ready to do well in the races" says Ebenal concluding his last day of employment in Canada.
Ebenal spent the winter getting physically prepared for the 2015 racing season. He was able to become an ambassador with Gold's Gym Executive in Regina, where he would train every day after work.
