BPK Environmental Joins the Krista Baldwin Racing Team as Primary Partner for Norwalk Nationals

Krista Baldwin Racing is set to enter the Norwalk Nationals with Spencer Massey and sponsor, BPK Environmental. BPK, licensed facilities for the Ohio EPA Water and Wastewater, will be represented as the primary partner on the KBR/Red Line Oil Top Fuel Dragster entry. With a slow start to the year, Krista and the team are ready to perform consistent, strong runs. 

BPK Environmental, owned by Joe Kristoff, provides certified water and wastewater operations for most facilities that are regulated by the Ohio EPA. BPK also specializes in minor water and wastewater rehabilitation projects. Joe has quickly become one of the pillars of the KBR team for the 2024 and 2025 seasons. 

“I met Joe and his son Brandon during my first year of driving Top Fuel,” says Krista Baldwin, team owner. “What started out as a friendship has morphed into a lucrative marketing partnership between us. Joe is not just a partner, but he gets his hands dirty too! He has been a great help in the pit during our turnarounds. I’m excited to host his friends and colleagues this weekend at their home track.” 

With stacked competition this weekend for the Top Fuel category, Krista and driver Spencer Massey are ready to tackle this ice cream-loving track. 

“Last year we came to this track, and we came up short in qualifying by 6 thousandths of a second, and we are ready for redemption,” says Krista. “Having Spencer Massey drive the cheetah dragster is a huge honor. It’s not often when you get to say that your hero pilots your dragster. With him in the seat, and Scott Graham and the boys tuning this rocket ship, I expect a smooth and quick weekend of fun.” 

BPK and KBR are ready for battle.
