#8TW

Tony Witte drives the #8tw Hobby Stock Class car at 34 Raceway.  He lives in Burlington, IA.  People who help Tony are:  Chris Witte, Tim Gerleman.  Tony and Lorrie Witte are the car owners.

He started racing in 2002 in the Thunder Class car at 34 Raceway because he'd always enjoyed watching and just had to give it a try.  His first win was in 2003 in the Thunder Class car at 34 Raceway.  Career highlights include 6 wins in 2004 in Thunder cars.

The thrill of racing for Tony is just being out there on the track.  His most exciting racing moment was that first win.  He's most proud of doing everything himself, all the work, maintenance, etc.

Tony's racing hero is Dale Earnhardt Sr.

Of racing, Tony says, "At least try it once!".
