#17

Blake Eden drives the #17 Bandolero Bandits Class car.  He lives in Deland, FLA.  His home track is Orlando Speedway but he can also be found racing at Charlotte.

He started racing in 2001 in the Quarter Midgets at New Smyrna Speedway and in 2003 in the Bandolero's at Orlando Speedway for the individual competition and because he really likes racing.  Career highlights include:  In Quarter Midgets Blake finished 2nd in Points and held the Track Record in Junior Honda Class.  In Bandoleros, he has one 2nd place finish.  He finished 5th in the Points in 2003.

The thrill of racing for Blake is the experience of meeting other people like himself, and spending time with his Dad.  His most exciting racing moment was the 2nd place finish in the Bandolero race.  He's most proud of just getting the chance to be in a race car.

Blake's racing heroes are Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Of racing, Blake says, "Racing is a hard sport and it takes a lot of practice and a lot of courage for a kid to get in a car when you're not even old enough to have a driver's license!".
