Ed Gibbons drives the #07 Late Model Class car.  He lives in Manning, SC.  His home track is Sumter Speedway. 

He started racing in 1982 in the Late Model Class at Florence Motor Speedway and Darlington Speedway after racing Go-Karts.  His first win was in 1982 in the Late Model Class at Hartsville-Darlington Speedway.  Career highlights include 2001 Carolina Clash Championship, JW Hunt 200 at Concord Speedway $20,000 win, Big 10 Championship at Concord, Hav-A-Tampa $10,000 win at Sumter Speedway, Gold Cup 100 Ocala Speedway $10,000 and Hav-A-Tampa win at Carolina Speedway.

The thrill of racing for Ed is the competition and speed!  His most exciting racing moment was the $10,000 Hav-A-Tampa win at Sumter Speedway.  He's most proud of having been able to race as long as he has and stay competitive.

Ed's racing hero is his Dad.

Of racing, Ed says, "Dirt Late Model cars have engines equal to the Nextel Cup cars.  If you haven't been to a race, come watch us race!".
