Home Track Drivers: Midwest Modified

I am 39 yrs old, married to my wife Chantelle for 16 yrs, have 2 daughters Taylor 16 and Dylan 14, and a dog Zeus. I’ve been racing for 19 years now and have raced in the 4 Cylinders, Pure stocks, Street Stocks and now the Midwest Modifieds. I started Audette Racing when I began racing and it has now grown to have 4 cars driven all by family.

I just started racing last year at the age of 51, that’s why the car’s number is 51. My goal this year is to beat my son driving the red 09 car. The other drivers have been great with us as we learn, special shout out to Branden Rehill and Paul Veert, they have been great

I started racing in 2019 in the 4 Cylinder class in a Dodge Neon shared between 6 of us. We all instantly fell in love with the addiction of dirt racing. We all have our own cars now in three different classes (4 Cylinder, Pure Stock, Midwest Modified). I will be racing a Midwest Modified for a full season for the first time. I am looking forward to what the future holds for all of us in dirt track racing.
