#80

Michael Rhodes drives the #80 Paris Hobby Class car.  His home track is Paris Motor Speedway but he can also be found racing at Superbowl Speedway and Road Runner Raceway.  He lives in Paris, TX.

Team members helping Michael are:  David McCleskey, Matt Rhodes, Dad (car owner).

Michael started racing in 2005 in the Jr. Mini Class at Superbowl Speedway because his Dad started in 1996 and they've been going ever since...Michael couldn't wait until he got his chance to try to race.  His first win was that in 2005.  Career highlights include 9 wins in 2005, finishing 2nd in the Points at Paris Motor Speedway.

The thrill of racing for Michael is waiting on the green flag to drop so you can run into the first turn.  His most exciting racing moment was racing with Kyle Blanton for the whole season in 2005 without ever hitting, even though they ran very close many times.  He's most proud of being part of Peckerhead Racing, with Scott Redden.

Michael's racing hero is Red Farmer.
