Pat Garrett

#G3

Pat Garrett drives the #G3 Street Stock Class car.  He lives in Reno, OH.  His home tracks are Cannonball Raceway at St.Clairsville, Ohio, and Muskingum County Speedway at Zanesville, Ohio but he can also be found racing at Skyline Speedway and Tyler County Speedway.

He started racing in 1994 in the Pure Stock Class at Tyler County Speedway in Middlebourne, W.Va. because he has always been interested in motorsports and decided to try.  He stuck with it and learned as much as he could and still loves it!  He first win was that same year.  Career highlights include:  Over 100 career wins, 96 of which were with the same car.  He was the Track Champion in 2000 at Cannonball Speedway and Skyline Speedway in 2002.  Pat took 2nd place after leading most of the race in Street Stock World Championship in 2003 at Zanesville, Ohio.  He's won multiple Features at 7 Ohio tracks and 5 West Virginia tracks.

The thrill of racing for Pat is the challenge and the excitement of racing wheel to wheel, lap after lap, from green to checker.  His most exciting racing moment was on a challenge from the Track Promoter....Pat started at the tail for a double or nothing purse.  He took the lead and led to the finish.  He's most proud of winning 96 Features with his first Street Stock car.  After retiring the car, due to an accident, which left it totaled, he put a new car together and went on to get his 100th Feature win in 2001.

Dale Earnhardt and Bill Childers (local Late Model driver) are Pat's racing heroes.

Of racing, Pat says, "Everyone should try it at least once.  It's a thrill you won't ever forget!".
