#56

Donnie Blanchard drives the #56 Extreme 8 Class car.  His home track is Sportsdrome Speedway.  He lives in Jeffersonville, IN.

Team members helping Donnie are:  Bill Riley, Bill Jr., Steve Arnold, Ronnie Watson, Tim Klingsmith.

He started racing in 1980 in the Street Stock Class at Fairgrounds because his Dad raced and Donnie always wanted to.  His first win was in 1981 in the Street Stock Class at the Sportsdrome Speedway.

The thrill of racing for Donnie is being able to drive fast.  His most exciting racing moment was winning his first race.  He's most proud of in 1994 driving Mini Stock having a car that could win just about every night.

Donnie's racing hero is Mark Martin.
