Rob Clark

#J79

Rob Clark drives the #J79 IMCA Modified Class car.  His home track is Hawkeye Raceway.  He lives in Muscatine, IA.

Team members helping Rob are:  Glenn Franck, Dave Clark, Bob, Travis.  Rob and Amanda Clark are car owners.

Rob started racing in 2002 in the Street Stock Class at Hawkeye Raceway as a family tradition.  Career highlights include finishing 5th in the Points in 2003. 

The thrill of racing for Rob is the speed and being able to control something that is almost out of control.  His most exciting racing moment was running door to door with fellow racers being inches from each other but not touching and seeing his daughters face at the fence and having her tell him that he's her favorite driver.  He's most proud of doing it mostly on his own and being competitive and pitting for a Championship Team. 

Rob's racing heroes are the late Ronnie Weedon and Vic Goben.

Of racing, Rob says, "Make obligations to your race car but not your first obligation.  You control racing but don't let it control you!".
