    About

    I’ve been obsessed with sprint cars my whole life. I have the pictures to prove it: me in a diaper, “working” on a sprint car.

    I’ve worked on them, traveled with them, and I’ve been to more races than I can count over the last four decades.

    DirtSprintCars.com is independent. I built it to help feed my obsession, help people get good info quickly, and hopefully help the sprint car community grow: more eyes on the racing, the drivers, the teams and the people who keep it going every weekend.

    And yes, I know midgets aren’t exactly sprint cars. I like them too, so deal with it.
