At 12 years old, Chris started his racing career on 2 wheels, motorcycles. His dad, Gene, has always enjoyed racing.“ That’s what we’ve always done, we just race”, Chris said. Winning multiple times in his early years, He remembered a special trophy, “I kept one trophy I had a long time, I went racing instead of going to prom”, “I wrote on the trophy, “prom night””. In 1989 Chris would pilot his first modified, before jumping into a sprint car for a while. Now back in a full size B-mod. “I love driving them still, but I love putting the cars together, and doing the setups on them, and trying to make them go faster."
Chris’s favorite thing to do outside of racing is riding his Harley. Along with other hobbies, “Im into pokemon, and star wars, stuff like that”. Some things that people really wouldn’t know about Chris.
“I appreciate everybody that supports us, everbody that comes out and watches the races every week, glad to have them out here."
We also we would like to thank Chris and the Gang down at Custom Coatings for all they do for the area tracks in the New Gen and Trophy classes!
Your driver of the week, Chris Pearce, #42 B-mod.
