BIO:Sean Gibbons started racing later in life; he’s always had a strong passion for sportscars along with the focus, drive and determination it takes to succeed as a driver. He made his Pirelli World Challenge debut for TRG, breaking into the top 10 in both races, while winning the Hard Charger award. Later in the season, he and racing partner Derek DeBoer combined to win both SprintX GTS races at Circuit of the Americas, cementing an outstanding year.
In 2018, Sean will once again be teamed up with DeBoer for a full season of PWC SprintX GTS racing in the powerful TRG #66 Porsche Cayman.
Sean graduated from the Skip Barber racing school’s MX-5 cup program and entered his first race in 2012 in the highly competitive Spec Boxster class. He won rookie honors that weekend, finishing second in his first race. He has won more than more than 18 races, including class wins at Daytona, Sebring, Thunderbolt, Monticello and Summit Point. Sean has also raced mid-engine Porsches in PCA competition the past five years. Gibbons has put his car on the podium nearly 70 percent of the time he has raced and has set a number of track records in both the PCA and NASA series.
Sean is an executive at SiriusXM Radio, Inc., responsible for Product and User Experience and has been with the company for more than 15 years. While at Sirius he played a small role in helping to launch the company, started the first product management organization and has responsibility of all products and user experience.

County Line Auto Body
County Line Auto Body
Established in 1980 by Gary Gardella Sr., County Line Auto Body originated as a small two bay shop. Although this was a new business venture, Gary had stepped away from years of experience at his family’s business, A to Z Auto Body in Staten Island, New York. Fortunately, from the opening day, Gary was able to do everything from frame pulling to refinishing. He dedicated much time towards the business in the 80’s and 90’s focusing on quality and safe repairs. As the local area grew, so did County Line. Fast forward to 2012…We now have a state of the art facility being built complete with the necessary equipment to handle all repairs. We also have introduced a car maintenance program. County Line Auto is here to be your one stop shop for auto repair and maintenance.
