#14

Gary Tucker drives the #14 Renegade Class car.  His home track is Cherokee Super Speedway but he can also be found racing at Thunder Valley Speedway, Harris Motor Speedway and Riverside Speedway.  He lives in Landrum, SC.

Team members helping Gary are:  Crew:  Gene Tucker, Les Tucker, Nikki Tucker, Gary Foster, Mike Pack, Andy Ruff, Cayce Crew, Justin Foster, Allen Sheltan  Family:  Wife - Marilyn, Danielle Tucker, Pat Tucker, Beth Tucker and Linda Sheltan.

He started racing in 1987 in the Street Stock 4 Class at Riverside Speedway because his Dad was in Motorsports and led the way.  His first win was in 2003 in the Renegade Class at Cherokee Super Speedway.  Career highlights include 1st win in 2003, 1st race car (Mustang) starting on the front row with his best friend Heath Williams.  His family being there.  Just having the Lord with him and being able to race with his best friend, Heath.

The thrill of racing for Gary is the speed!  To be able to be on the inside of the gate, to see the fans in the stands, to make a car do what others can't.  His most exciting racing moment was his first win and that his daughter, Nikki and his Dad were in the pits with him.  He's most proud that after 17 years, no injuries and that the Lord has blessed him and that his wife, kids, parents and brother are all there on Saturday nights.

Gary's racing hero is his Dad, Gene Tucker.

Of racing, Gary says, "That it is not a give-me, it takes very hard work, long hours and family sacrifice!".
