#17M

Eddie Hallum Jr. drives the #17M Cruiser Class car.  His home track is Western Kentucky Speedway.  He lives in Princeton, KY.

Team members helping Eddie are:  Matt Markham, Brian Markham, Hunter, Tristan, Ethan, April, family and friends.

Eddie started racing in 2006 in the Cruiser Class at Western Kentucky Speedway because he was inspired by Matt and Brian Markham to do so.  His first win was that same year.  Career highlights in his first year are that he is a frontrunner in the Cruiser Class and he is currently #4 in the Points race.

The thrill of racing for Eddie is the team spirit at M&M Motorsports, family support and the look on his 3 sons faces.  His most exciting racing moment was the first time he rolled his car out of the garage, his first Heat win and every time he gets in the car.  He's most proud of the team spirit and camaraderie that inspired him to set a goal and have the nerve to overcome obstacles in order to make a dream come true.

Eddie's racing hero is Dale Earnhardt Sr.

Of racing, Eddie says, "If your dream is to drive a race car, build a race car or just be around racing, follow your dream.  If it is meant to be, God in your heart, will let you know!".
