Lance Carlson

#26

Lance Carlson drives the #26 Pure Stock Class car.  He lives in Mt. Olive, NC.  His home track is Wayne County Speedway. 

He started racing in 1992 in the Bomber Class at Freedom Raceway in Delevar, NY. because he thought he'd be able to drive.  His first win was that same year.  A career highlight was winning on August 15, 2003 after being out of racing for 5 years.

The thrill of racing for Lance is trying to control speed in a car going faster than it needs to go.  His most exciting racing moment was the end of August, 2003 when he flipped his car over on the very first lap of the race, got sandwiched in between two cars and had no where to go except upside down.  He's most proud of not giving up after so many things going wrong.

Lance's racing hero is anyone brave enough to do it!
