Dude Teate

#0

Dude Teate drives the #0 Sprint Car.  He lives in Leesburg, FL.  His home track is Ocala Speedway but can also be found racing at Inverness Speedway. 

He started racing in 1077 in the Go-kart Class at Fruitland Park Speedway because his Dad raced Go-karts.  His first win was that same year.  In 1999 Dude was the TBARA Champion, he won many Go-Kart Championships, 13 Sprint Car wins and over 30 Midget wins.

The thrill of racing for Dude is winning and going fast!  He's most proud of trying to qualify a NASCAR Craftsman Truck twice and winning the Sprint Car Championship.

Jeff Gordon is Dude's racing hero.

Of racing, Dude says, "I love it!".
