Picture at Wayne County Speedway

 Willard Yarnell

Willard Yarnell races out of his hometown of Massillon OH.  Wayne county Speedway is his home track. Willard began racing in 2002 because it had always been a dream of his. He started in a mini stock and the first track he ran on was Wayne County Speedway.

In 2004 he finished 10th out of 85 cars.

When ask what the thrill of racing was for him he replied "What a rush!"  His greatest racing thrill was when he almost rolled his car.   He is most proud of taking 11th place in 2003 and 10th place in 2004.  "The only way to go is up!"

Dale Earnhardt is Willard's racing hero.

Chris Yarnell works on the crew.

Willard's quote is "Dirt is for racing, asphalt is to get you there.
