#31

Brian King drives the #31 Street Stock Class car.  His home track is Texana Raceway but he can also be found racing at Shady Oaks Speedway.  He lives in Victoria, TX.

Team members helping Brian are:  Chris Shafer, Dad - Butch King, Mom, Tony Burnett, Mitch Wagner, Cooter Koehne and more people than he could list.  Butch King is the car owner.

Brian started racing in 2008 in the Street Stock Class at Texana Speedway and Shady Oaks Speedway because he loves racing for as long as he can remember.  His first win was in '09 in the Street Stock Class at South Texas Speedway.  Career highlights include '08 Most Improved Driver, '09 5 Feature wins, 8 Heat wins, finished 3rd in the Points at both Texana Speedway and Shady Oaks Speedway. 

The thrill of racing for Brian is the competition, the teamwork that goes into it all and being on the track running the hell outta the car.  His most exciting racing moment was his first win at STS.  It was the Steve Tomlinson Memorial Race and he won the Heat and led every lap of the Feature.  What made it even better was that he finally beat his mentor, Chris Shafer.  He's most proud of the respect he's gained from his fellow races.  He really doesn't have any enemies.  It's fun to go out on the track and run a good, hard, clean race...the wins are nice too!

Brian's racing heroes are Dale Earnhardt and Chris Shafer. 

Of racing, Brian says, "That it is the most competitive sport I've ever been a part of.  I've played basketball, football, tennis and track.  None of those as as competitive as racing!".
