Marc started racing in 1975 in the Street Stock Class at Sport Strong Speedway because his Dad had taken him to the race track since he was 6 years old.  Every Saturday night his Dad would load him into the car and they'd go!  His first win was in '75 in the Street Stock at a Figure 8 race at Sport Strong Speedway.  Career highlights include 2 Track Championships - '79 in Figure 8 on dirt and '06 on asphalt in Modified at Wichita Falls.

The thrill of racing for Marc is the accomplishments, the self fulfillment.  Being successful at something.  "Oh boy, I wanna keep doing this!".  His most exciting racing moment was his Top 10 finish at Charlotte Motor Speedway in '91 in the Nascar race with 110,000 people watching in the grandstands.  He's most proud of being blessed to get to drive, consecutively for 36 years, blessed and lucky to be able to drive and not miss a year racing.  His new goal is to make it to 50, being able to race each year.

Marc's racing heroes are local guys he used to watch when he was 6 years old.  Mainly because they were doing what he wanted to do.  Larry Redman let Marc hang around while he worked on the race car at his shop.  Dad -he packed the track.

Of racing, Marc says, "Racing is a sport and it can be a family sport.  In racing, your family can be right in the pits with you.  Football, baseball can't take your family to the sideline or dugout.

His favorite racing website is where he can find the schedule for racing on TV.
