Kirk Haag
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Kirk is following in the footsteps of his dad and granddad. He has been surrounded by race cars since he was a toddler so it's only natural to see him behind the wheel. Kirk received his NASA & SCCA Racing Licenses in 2003 and started out in a 1st gen Mazda RX7. He moved on to racing the shop's RX8 in 2019 at the Lucky Dog Race at Thunderhill and has raced in several Lucky Dog races. We expect to see great things from Kirk and are so proud of him!
Andrew Peeler
You could say that Andrew was born to be a race car driver! From the age of 3 Andrew could be found driving his hot wheels cars on custom made tracks while watching NASCAR on the tv! Andrew has an incredible portfolio of wins and racing achievements in his 23 years. Things are only looking up for this gifted racer!
Taylor Cason
Taylor is a 16 year old Chinese-American driver and the third generation racer in her family. She has driven off road vehicles from ages 9 to 11 in all different kinds of conditions. She has raced karts from ages 12 to 15 and has never finished less than 4th Place in 2021. She has since then transitioned to cars and worked for a team at 25 Hours of Thunderhill in 2021 where she gained considerable track knowledge. We look forward to working with Taylor as she climbs the racing ladder!
