Brian Easler

#11

Brian Easler drives the #11 Crate Late Model Class car.  His home track is Riverside Speedway and Cherokee Super Speedway but he can also be found racing at Harris Speedway, and Thunder Valley Speedway.  He lives in Roebuck, SC.

Team members helping Brian are:  Duane Easler, Sam Knight, Tim Fowler, Blake Keeler, Brandon Sutton, and many more.  Brian has a lot of people that help me.  Brian's wife is his biggest support.

Brian started racing in 1998 in the Mod 4 Class at Sugar Creek Speedway because his brother, Chris Easler, raced 4 Cyl cars and Brian enjoyed going to the races and helping him out.  His first win was in 2000 in the Mod 4 Class at Sugar Creek Speedway.  Career highlights include winning several races in the 4 Cylinder Division.  This year he has a brand new 2006 TNT race car and feel that we are getting better each week.

The thrill of racing for Brian is the competition.  His most exciting racing moment was racing against his brother one year at Sugar Creek Speedway.  They were the only two cars out there for the Main Event.  Brian ended up letting his brother win!  He's most proud of just being able to look at his car each year and knowing that he worked all winter long on it.  He always does the bodies on his own cars and he is proud to show them off.  He owns his own cars, which means he can say that it is his.

Of racing, Brian says, "It is fun, but can be discouraging at times.  There are a lot of great race car drivers out there.  If you have a bad week, which I have many times, just suck it up and try again.  You only can get better!".
