Stephen Hershey

#7

Stephen Hershey drives the #7 Minicup Class car.  His home track is Poughkeepsie Speedway but he can also be found racing at Mountain Speedway.  He lives in Collegeville, PA.  People who help Stephen are:  Jim Hershey (car owner), Steve Frith, Timmy and Rick Buckwalter.

He started racing in 2004 in the Minicup Class at Long Island because some of his friends raced and he liked racing in video games.  His first win was in 2004 in the Quarter Midget Class at Pheonixville.  Career highlights include several 2nd place finishes. 

The thrill of racing for Stephen is meeting new people, driving, missing school and passing cars!  His most exciting racing moment was flipping over a bail of hay in Long Island with the Minicup.  He's most proud of actually finishing a race. 

Stephen's racing heroes are Ryan Newman and Matt Kenseth.

Of racing, Stephen says, "It's fun and you get to meet new people.  Most people are nice and they will help you!".
