Waylon Ray drives the #56 Street Stock Class car.  His home track is Grand Prairie Speedway but he can also be found racing at Kennedale Speedway Park.  He lives in Mansfield, TX.

Team members helping Waylon are:  ATI Pit Crew members, Booie Ray.  Booie Ray is the car owner.

Waylon started racing in 2005 in the Jr Mini Stock Class at Grand Prairie Speedway because he had already been racing Go Karts at Cowtown Speedway and racing cars was the next step.  His first win was that same year.  Career highlights include '05 finished 6th in the Points, '06 finished 3rd in the Points in Mini Stock.

The thrill of racing for Waylon is the adrenaline rush and the fun of it.  His most exciting racing moment was when he flipped and rolled his car 3 times in turn 1 & 2 at Grand Prairie Speedway.  He's most proud of finishing 3rd for the Points Championship.

Waylon's racing hero is Richard Petty.

Of racing, Waylon says, "It's worth every penny and second of your time.  If you are interested in starting, then do it!".
