Nathan Buttlee

#66

Nathan Buttlee drives the #66 Late Model Class car.  He lives in Randleman, NC.  His home track is Caraway Speedway.  

Nathan's #66 car is the black, white and yellow Hedgecode Chassis, Alvin Toomes Engine (Mopay's High Performance).

He started racing in 1991  in the Late Model Class at Caraway Speedway because his father raced years ago gave it another shot, for fun, you could say.  Nathan got in the car and did pretty well for a first time and the rest is history.  His first win was in 1993 in the Late Model Class at Caraway.  Career highlights include Late Model Class win North Wilkesboro '95, Pole Position  racing in Bush Grand National and Nascar Craftsman Truck Series win at the New River beating Ronnie Thomas.

The thrill of racing for Nathan is the challenge.  The most exhilarating racing moment for him has been every win and starting the 2001 Craftsman Truck race at Daytona.  He's most proud of being a fairly smart driver and usually staying out of trouble.

Nathan's racing hero is Dale Earnhardt.  He drove hard every lap, got the best out of what he had.

Of racing, Nathan says, "It is different than it looks like.  You have to try it for yourself or actually be with the crew and experience it!".
