Rita Goulet, Stephen Leicht to share driving duties for Rise Motorsports in ARCA Menards Series

DENVER, N.C. — Rise Motorsports has announced the rebranding of its ARCA Menards Series team previously known as Tim Goulet Enterprises.

This will be a joint effort between co-owners Tim Goulet and driver/co-owner Rita Goulet. The team intends to run a part-time schedule in the ARCA Menards Series with Rita Goulet (Thomason) and Stephen Leicht dividing driving duties. The team also has opportunities for funded and qualified drivers who are operating on a budget.

Rise Motorsports currently has one Chevrolet SS and one Toyota Camry in its fleet. The plan is to exclusively field Toyota entries. Tim Goulet will continue to maintain the No. 31 as he has since the 2021 season.

The team intends to use this platform for driver development with an eye toward eventually moving into the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Being a part of the ARCA Menards Series as well as the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will help maintain the future of the sport by providing opportunities for funded and qualified drivers operating on a budget as previously mentioned.
