 Joe Liguori Follows In Grandfathers Footsteps.
Joe Liguori is young in his years but certainly not in experience. From an early age racing go karts to his midget racing debut, he has shown strong desire and the determination to win. Joe's Grandfather, racing great Ralph Liguori, recognized his Grandson's talent and has mentored him throughout his career, giving him a tremendous knowledge base from which to draw. This combination is a winning one and Joe Liguori is definitely a rising star to watch. For more information or to receive a sponsorship portfolio, Contact us today.
