Gerald Mintz

#28

Gerald Mintz drives the #28 Late Model Class car.  He lives in Hopkins, SC.  His home track is Sumter Speedway but he also races at I-20 Speedway.

Gerald started racing in 1989 in the Hobby Class at Columbia Speedway because his brother Lee raced and he wanted to keep up with hin. Gerald fell in love with it.  His first win was in 1989 in the Hobby Class at Cola Speedway.  He's had 7 Track Championships, won 4 Carolina Clash races and 2 $5000 to win Thanksgiving races at Sumter.

The thrill of racing for Gerald is the rush he gets when he goes out onto the track and the speed.  He's most proud of winning the big races with all that competition.

His most exciting racing moment was winning his first BIG $$$ race.
