Todd "Mr. Excitement" Shaffer.

Todd Shaffer, AKA Mr. Excitement, was born on November 8th, 1961 in Millerstown, PA. His wife's name is Allyson, and they have a daughter together named Salene. Todd is a building contractor. Gary and Patty Beam are Shaffer's race team owners, and his head wrench's name is Jim Russell. Todd has four crew members, and four sponsors. Mr. Excitement's chassis is a JEI, and his Engine was made by Don Ott. Outside of racing, he likes hunting, snowmobiling, riding his motorcycle, and golfing. Shaffer raced go-karts for 19 years, has 300+ feature wins, eight Grand National Championships, and he competed for three years as a touring prfessional in the World Karting Association for Link Enterprises of Dove, Delaware. After go-karts he moved up to the 410 Sprint Cars. He's been racing Sprints for 25 years, has 195 feature wins, and 13 track championships at Sharon Speedway, Williams Grove Speedway, Port Royal Speedway, and Selinsgrove Speedway. After everything went down with Tyler Walker, (Read post below), he got in the number 17's driver seat. A lot of people, including myself, do not like Shaffer. On the other hand, a lot do. He races dirty, and he'll do anything to win a race. I hate dirty racers. He's a nice person, but a dirty racer!
