About Martin McKeeferyposted in NASCAR on Sep 25th 2009 at 2:14pm.

My name is Martin McKeefery. I have competed in the Camping World West Series for one race with impressive results.

I am pursuing my career as a professional driver and am looking to join a team with aspirations to succeed. I have accumulated nine years of racing experience in 3 car classes.

My Goals:
  • For 2010 my goal is to secure the Rookie of the Year Championship
  • For 2011 I will shoot for the NASCAR Camping World West Championship
Background on my Auto Racing Experience
I finished my second year racing a Super Modified by wining the 2007 WSSRL Championship. I plan to learn as many different styles of racing to further my knowledge behind a racecar, on and off the track, from chassis characteristics to aerodynamics.

I have experience and championships in both road and oval race cars. I have incorporated my road racing talents into my oval racing and vise versa, by doing this I have noticed substantial changes in my driving style that have lead to faster lap times and a more fluent understanding of driver input.

I am a unique racecar driver, not only do I race but I am also mechanically knowledgeable. Throughout my racing career I have been supported by my family and a few sponsors, but money and budgeting have always been tight. This has required me to go far beyond what a 22-year old is expected to accomplish. Just to name of few accomplishments; I have personally rebuilt a 823 hp Super Modified motor, repaired a large portion of the race car chassis due to an on track mechanical failure, and rebuilt the car from the chassis up for the 2008 season. I have been called by race teams to help crew, I proved to be helpful in solving technical issues. All of the skills I present to a race team along with my on track racing expertise make me a very unique and prized asset to any race team. Although I may understand a large quantity of knowledge I still am open minded to any other ideas or views, because the fastest way for me to learn is to listen, watch and then perform.

A few ways to describe my personality would be:
  • Smooth on and off the track
  • A wealth of information of car mechanics and the ability to communicate back to the crew chief how the car is reacting on the racetrack.
  • Reflex and intuition drives the car, leaving the mind to work strategy and intelligent maneuvers to move the car to the front.
  • Excellent race judgment, I can avoid wrecks that look impossible to avoid, and I am easy on the equipment.
  • All of these skills allow me to finish most every race, and to win several championships.
  • “Always finish what you start”
I enjoy meeting new people in the world of motor sports, and building long-term relationships that are sure to bring success. Racing is interweaved with marketing and promotional stature. Realizing that advertisement plays a big role in motor sports, I push myself to learn speaking skills by attending classes. I am attending college, preparing for a degree to further my interest in mechanical and civil engineering.
