Stacey Gerken drives the #2 Modified at Lorain Speedway.  He is from LaGrange, OH and has been racing this class for 8 years.  His sponsors include Perfection Fabricators, Jon Wright's Custom Chrome Plating, Kelly's Suds-N-Dry, Gary's Body Shop, Hal and Sandy West, Crafted for You by Gerre Lou, Hartz Bros. Trucking, All Parts, Mountain Motors, and KSE.


He has participated in other racing classes including Street Stock, Ohio Stock, Late Models, and Sports Stock.  Both Tate and Chad Gerken race at Lorain Speedway as well.  Stacey admires the driving skills of Johnny Logan, Ron Henes, and Paul Miller and says he got interested in racing from the very first race he ever attended.


Stacey would love to win every race he is in, and on most nights, he usually does!  His favorite racing moment occured in 1990 when he eliminated all the competition from the pursuit race while starting at the fast qualifier spot (the very back of the pack!) in just three laps.  In 2000, he won the main event race at the Columbus Motor Speedway in the Modified Division, and has also raced at Sandusky Speedway and the Midvale Speedway as well.


He loves coming to Lorain Speedway each week because of its location, the money he wins, and the fact that it is a "chassis track".  


Stacey wishes to thank his parents, his wife Lisa, his son Jarrett, Drew Leonard, the West Family, GRE, Tj Stineman, Kent Stauffer, and Terry Meyers for all their love, help and support.
