Willie Patterson drove the
#11 Spectator Stock at Lorain Speedway in 2004, and the #11 4-cylinder at
Sandusky Speedway in 2006. He was part of the Smack Racing Team and
was sponsored by Jones Auto Body, Apex Chassis, Crafted For You by Gerre Lou,
and Gerken Racing ENT.He has
been racing this class for what he describes as "too many years" but can't
pass up all the fun, especially the drinking in the Jones' pit after racing.
He has raced go karts as well, and had success at Sandusky Speedway winning
the 2002 Annual Hangover Race, and many heat races up there as well. In
his spare time he also enjoys watching football, and talking about old racing
stories with his racing buddies.

He returned for the 2006 Racing
Season in a Grand National, and ran a limited schedule. He also ran
the 4 cylinder class up at Sandusky following Lorain's closing in 2006 and
had success up there as well. His favorite drivers are Jeff Gordon
and THE SHOE Dave Schullick.
Willie would like to thank Poppa
Steve Jones and Ryan Smith for all their help in 2004, and of course Tate
and Stacey Gerken.
