Caden Fink
Chippewa Falls, WI
Driver Information
Caden has been interested in racing for several years now, after watching countless races with his Grandpa Denny and reliving the excitement each time he told us about the races. It wasn't long before he voiced his desire to race. After he found out one of his classmates raced at a local track, the family went out to watch a race and became hooked instantly.
"Just make it go fast, Dad!"
Grandpa made a connection with a friend whose son used to race, and agreed to loan us a kart for the season. A few hours of internet searching and borrowing from another racing family got us the required parts we needed to race! Things only got better the more he raced, as the crew partnered with two local companies who saw the value of racing and the potential for exposure in a new market; with their support, we gained improved equipment and success, along with name recognition the more Caden raced.
Despite having a late start in the racing season, Caden ended up placing 5th overall in points for the year, and is excited and determined to improve this year. It is amazing to see the whole family supporting him and his talent, as well as the smile on his face at the end of a great race.
We are so incredibly grateful for the sponsors that support us currently, however, if Caden is to continue racing, we will need to continue to look into better equipment; the most important being a trailer. The races at the track often run past 9pm, and it takes a signifigant amount of effort to load the kart, to have to come home and unload everything; sometimes not getting to bed until after 11pm.
With the constant encouragement from friends and family, word of making a 'GoFundMe' page came around as a way for people to be able to donate and contribute to Caden--because any donation, big or small helps more than one can be aware, and takes him one step closer to his dreams of being a NASCAR driver!
Career Highlights
Caden took home his first trophy on the Last race of the season, 2016 - It was second place and we were all so thrilled for him! Even starting the season late, he placed 5th overall in points. Caden continues to improve his driving skills and has awesome sportsmanship!
