#2G

Geoff Olson drives the #2G Sport Mod Class car.  His home track is Interstate Speedway but he can also be found racing at Park Jefferson Speedway and Blackbird Bend Speedway.   He lives in Sioux City, IA.

Team members helping Geoff are:  Steve Olson, Rick Mathieson, Dave McWilliams.  Steve Olson is the car owner.

Geoff started racing in 2004 in the Sport Mod Class at Blackbird Bend Speedway because his Dad raced in IMCA Modified from 1994-2003.  After the '03 season, he didn't have enough time to spend on the car so he gave Geoff the opportunity to race.  His first win was in '04 in the Sport Mod Class at Blackbird Bend Speedway.   Career highlights include '06 Interstate Speedway Track Champion, 7 Feature wins, including 2 in '04, 3 in '05 and 2 in '06.  More wins and Championships are on the way!

The thrill of racing for Geoff is the control.  When he gets into a race car, he has control over the outcome of the race.  His most exciting racing moment was winning his first race.  He's most proud of being down by 18 Points in the standings in June and fighting back to win the Championship by September with only 2 wins.

Geoff's racing hero is Steve Olson.

Of racing, Geoff says, "When you sit in the stands and watch a race, you probably think in your head "Why don't they pass that person?".  Let me tell you, it's not that easy!  If you've never been scared, you've never gone fast enough!".
