Nicole Bower. You go, girl!

Nicole Bower is the one and only girl who races at Port Royal Speedway religiously. She is only 21-years-old, and has been racing for five years. She hasn't won a race yet, or even been in the top five, but she gets major respect, especially from women, for having the guts to get strapped into a sprint car. Many people say "she's to scared to get up there with the big dogs," but that's not true. It just takes time to get a good handle on the car, and to know the track. Anyway, Nicole is from Camp Hill, PA, and she says her parents, Gina and Gary, and her sister, Brooke Bower, are her biggest supporters. Her sponser is ABC West Lanes, which is a bowling alley she goes to when she's not racing. Nicole's second hobby, racing being first, of course, is bowling. Bower is going to Delaware State University. Nicole's favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers, her favorite restraunt is Hoss's, and her favorite drink is Iced Tea. When Nicole first started racing, she raced Quarter midgets. Bower's favorite track is Selinsgrove Speedway, and her chassis is made by Schnee. Her motors are made by Rider Racing Engines, and her future goals are USAC, and NASCAR. That's all I can say about the 75 of Nicole Bower!

Justin Henderson.

Justin Henderson is a 30-year-old lean mean racing machine. He is from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Henderson has a dog named Zeus, and aside from racing, his hobbies are golfing, paint ball, and working on his El Camino. Justin began racing when he was only five-years-old. He started out racing karts, then 4-wheelers, and before he even turned 16, he was behind the wheel, and strapping into a sprint car. He began racing IMCA 360 sprint cars near his home in Sioux Falls after his father, Rod, turned over the family car to him. He was fairly successful as he finished in the top two in points at all three of his local racetrack. Justin quickly showed he not only had the desire to race professionally, but also showed he had the talent to do so. In 2006, opportunity knocked, and Justin was offered a chance to race wih the World of Outlaws, and he made the most of it by finishing 7th in points as a rookie out of 16 full time traveling cars. The mild mannered Henderson always has time to talk to the fans, and sign autographs, even though it can get annoying, and even if he loses a race, he still talks to them, and puts a smile on his face. That's what I like about Justin. He's very mannerly, and respectful. In 2009, Justin joined the PA Posse team for the entire season. Justin is a very successful driver. In 2010, he raced 73 races. With one win, 10 top 5's, and 23 top 10's, and over 50 wins altogether, he's an amazing driver, and I'd be highly disappointed if he ever stopped racing.

Daryl Stimeling.

Daryl Stimeling was born on March 21, 1966. He was born and raised in good ole' Lewistown, Pennsylvania. He's married to his wife, Paula, and has two daughters named Rachel and Tiffany. Aside from racing, to put dinner on the table, he is a logger. His hobby is obviously racing, and his favorite food is a cheesesteak from Parkway on Shaw Avenue. Stimeling is a country music fan, and his favorite singer is Garth Brooks. Daryl started racing in 1978. He first raced Go-Karts, then later switched over to Sprints in 1987. Stimeling has a very successful 15 career wins title. His chassis are J&J, and J&B, and he would never get someone else to make his chassis. Stimeling's motors are 410, and 358 Ford. Daryl's crew members who he gives major credit to, are Cliff, Duff, Harry, and Craig. Daryl says his favorite track is Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio. Stimeling says the biggest impact on his racing career was his dad because his dad took him to the races all the time, and his racing heroes are Todd Shaffer, and Bobby Davis. Stimeling plans to stay in the Sprint Car division, but he wants to move from 410's, to a limited division like 358's, and his career dream is to run with the All-Stars.

Bad Chad Layton

I don't like him. At all. But, a lot of people do like him, so I figured I'd do his profile.

Chad Layton was born on October 14th, 2011. He has a loving (beautiful) wife named Schenley, and two adorable children, Chad and Tregan. He doesn't have any occupation other than racing (He doesn't really need to have another occupation because he "wins" everything. BUT ANYWAY!) He was born into racing. Chad's father was an SCCA National Champion G Production road racer. He spent his entire youth around race cars and fell in love with it. His brother Jimmy also races. Jimmy, however, got into the 358 Sprints; Chad races 410 Sprints. Chad did start out racing 358 Sprints, where he has 55 wins at nine different tracks, and he holds the all-time win record in PA for the 358's. Now that Layton's gotten into 410's, he has a point championship at Selinsgrove Speedway, he's raced with the All Stars, and the World of Outlaws, and has raced at the Knoxville Speedway Nationals in Iowa. Chad WAS one of the top 410 Sprint Driver's in PA, but he had a bad 2011 season, having only one win.

Lucky #7!

Danica Sue Patrick is an Indy Car driver. She's the first girl ever to do this, and she is my role model. Along with being a very talented racer, she has become a huge pop icon. She graced the covers of Sports Illistrated, SHAPE, and the ESPN magazine. Patrick has guest starred on many TV shows, and she is the star of the "Godaddy.com" commercials. Danica's most memorable achievement is leading the Indy 500, which is a huge race for the Indy drivers. If Danica wasn't racing, she'd be doing fashion. That's what I love about her. She can get dirty and race, then go home and design beautiful clothes.

"The Man from Mifflintown!"

Career stats: Keith Kauffman is 61years old, and has been racing for 41 of those years. In the four decades of his racing career, he has earned 307 wins and eighteen track championships. Of those 307 wins, 128 were logged at Port Royal Speedway, 51 at Williamsgrove Speedway, 25 were with the All-Star racers, five were at Lincoln Speedway, and many more! Kauffman has won in 12 different states and twice in Australia! According to his website (http://www.keithkauffman.com/), he has won too many awards to even mention-- a great driver obviously. Kauffman has raced Late Models, Champ Cars, Go-Karts and is now in the 410 Sprint division. Keith doesn't have a favorite track. He says he loves all of them. He is so well known, that even Jeff Gordon (professional driver from NASCAR) says Keith is HIS hero!

Personal Profile(from his website): "The Man from Mifflintown" was born on June 9th, 1950, in Mifflintown, PA. He and his wife Kathy have two children, Becky and Chase. Aside from racing, he has a full time job! Who would have thought he has the time?! He's a full-time equipment operator for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Keith has been doing this job for nine years. In Kauffman's free time, he enjoys hunting, yard work, and deep sea fishing with Barry Camp, who is also a driver for the USAC division. Kauffman loves steak and lobster, and his favorite drink is coffee. When Keith is cruising down the road in his car, going the speed limit, of course, he's more than likely listening to oldies music, and when he's sitting at home, hanging out with his family, he's probably watching something with John Wayne, James Bond, or Clint Eastwood.
