“We are very excited to have a company of Peerless Boilers stature join JB Fortin Racing for the 2021 season” the recently married Fortin stated, “we cultivated the relationship with Peerless Boilers through my parents John’s Fuel Oil business and were able to strike up a marketing package that we hope lasts for years to come”. The leading name in boilers for both residential and commercial applications Peerless Boilers is the home of the “best built boilers’ as well providing parts and tech support for their vast product line.
With the fast approaching season at the doorstep JB Fortin revealed he and his team have devised a race schedule that will keep the young group very busy in the months to come, “we want to race as much as we can and now with Peerless Boilers coming on board it makes it possible” Fortin revealed.

Fortin heads to the 2021 NASCAR WMT campaign with 24 starts under his belt and is proud of how his team has evolved in just two full seasons on tour, “very carefully with some hard work and learning along the way we are building a nice team here at JB Fortin Racing. However as much as we build I can never forget how it all started with my parents John & Nicole and John’s Fuel Oil but also our John’s Tree Removal company. The faith they have in me since my first laps at Riverhead Raceway has never wavered and they’ve invested heavily in our racing future”.
In addition to Peerless Boilers JB Fortin also announced many of his longtime loyal sponsors are returning in 2021 as The Golden Jalapeno, Northeast IT, PAC Automotive Components, Whip City Jerky and Lisa’s Italian American Restaurant have agreed to return for the new race season.

“best built boilers’
OK if you say so but mostly a meat and potato’s boiler. Peerless is no fool Long Island is a great market and John’s Fuel Oil must sell a lot of equipment down there.
Fortin is a dabbler and apparently another team picking and choosing from a menu of options. Hope this boiler manufacturer works out as well as Burnham Boilers worked out for Stefanik.
