2004 Season Car
Chad Gerken of Elyria,
OH drove the #5 at Lorain Speedway. His sponsors included Dunlap's
Garage, Booger Motors, and GRE (Gerken Racing Enterprises).
His brother Tate Gerken owns the car, and also raced at Lorain
Speedway in the Modified Division, as did his other brother Stacey Gerken,
2004/2005/2006 Modified Track Champion.
Chad says his favorite
racing moment so far was winning his first race the same night his brother
Stacey was crowned the division champ in the Modifieds for the double up.
He says he likes Lorain Speedway because of his brothers, the fans,
and the hopes of winning in the fast feature someday. His favorite
drivers are none other than his brothers Tate and Stacey. Chad also
compares racing on the short track to running with the bulls!
He wants to thank Tate, Stacey, Mom , Melody, Kevin, and his wife Maggie
for all their love and support, Shawn Pack for all the help he gave him,
and Gerald Morgan for a great first year.
