Brooke Schmitz

#00

Brooke Schmitz drives the #00 4 Cylinder Class car.  Her home track is Dubuque Fair Speedway but she can also be found racing at Cedar County Speedway and Jackson County Speedway to name a few.  She lives in Dubuque, IA.

Team members helping Brooke are:  Jimmy B, Joe Kaiser. 

Brooke started racing in 2000 in the IKF Junior I Briggs Class at Delaware Speedway after seeing Shirley Muldowney race.....Brooke was hooked!  Her first win was in 2005 in the Flyers Class at Dubuque Fair Speedway.  Career highlights include flying 32 feet before landing off the track at Jackson County Speedway in 2002, keeping Joe Zrostlik behind her last season at Dubuque Fair Speedway in the last race and racing at truck at Jackson County Speedway.

The thrill of racing for Brooke is all about the speed.  Her most exciting racing moment was taking a checkered flag for the first time.  She's most proud of getting into her own stock car for the first time (she was 14) and asked her Dad why there were 3 pedals (you should have seen the look on her Dad's face!).

Brooke's racing hero is Mark "The Jet" Morrett.

Of racing, Brooke says, "Live every day as if it were your last because one day it will be!".
