Mission Statement

Racing to win with the highest integrity, and to uphold high quality excellence representing the sponsor and team image.

Being true to the sportsmanship of racing, in the garage, in the pits and on the track, by racing with the highest respect to others.

History

Being long time auto racing fans, prior to taking up the sport, we visited and enjoyed the local short tracks many years. We also spent some time hanging out with a friend (Troy Whyte) in the racetrack pits at Owosso Speedway as he tried his luck racing the 3/8 mile banked oval. In 2005 a new race car class "pure stock" came to Owosso Speedway. In the spring of 2005, Plan B racing was born. Our large garage was transformed in a race shop. A 1989 Chevrolet Caprice was found and with help from my father in-law and racing friends, we built our first race car. The car became nicknamed “Underdog”. My first season with “Underdog” we finished 2nd in points at Owosso Speedway. We raced once at the Dixie Motor Speedway that year and took a third place on that 1/3 mile pavement.

In 2006 “Underdog” and I raced every weekend, surviving two wrecks, and avoiding many others. Running as one of the top five cars in the pure stock class at Owosso Speedway, we once again took 2nd in points, for 2006 season.

In the fall of 2006 I partnered with Troy Whyte to race in the Limited Late model class at Owosso Speedway and Dixie Motor Speedway. In 2007 Troy and I will be sharing the seat to enjoy the sport of racing.
