Trotter’s statement on joining Venturini Motorsports said, “I couldn’t be more excited. I’m so thankful to everyone at Toyota Racing Development, Mobil 1, and VMS for giving me this surreal opportunity to continue living out my dreams. Toyota has been incredibly important to my development over the last four years. They’ve guided me so much, helping me move up at the right pace with the right people.” She added, “Coming to a place like Venturini Motorsports to race and learn from some of the best makes me feel like there’s no better place to be right now.”
