#17

Michael Sboro drives the #17 Legend Pro Class car.  He lives in Mooresville, NC.  His home track is Hickory Motor Speedway but he can also be found racing at Lowe's Motor Speedway and Hardeeville Motor Speedway.

He started racing in 1996 in the Go-Karts at Can-Am Speedway for the love of sport and a family venture.  His first win was that same year.  Career highlights include:  2nd place in Bandolero National's in 2000 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, 100+ Go-Kart wins, Can-Am Track Champion 1997 & 1998, WKA National Payment Series 5th place in 1999, 25 Bandolero wins, Evans Mill's Speedway Track Champion 2000 Bandolero Division, NY State Semi Pro Legend Champion in 2001, NY State Pro Champion Legend Pro Division 2002.

Michael is moving up to race in the USAC Ford Focus Midget Series for the 2004 season and is looking for a sponsor!

The thrill of racing for Michael is the speed!  His most exciting racing moment was his first win in Legends at the age of 13.  He's most proud of his Championships in Go-Karts and Bandoleros and the 2002 New York State Championship in the Pro Division and the 2001 Semi Pro Championship in NY State.

Dale Earnhardt Sr. is Michael's racing hero.

Of racing, Michael says, "Everyone who says it's boring doesn't know what they're talking about until they actually do it!".
