About
Lane Racing?
Lane
Racing is a family-based supermodified race team. Lane Racing is
dedicated to the presentation and performance of our team with a
goal of "get to the front and stay there." In racing you
need to be hard working- whether it's getting the cars ready, traveling
to shows, working on race day, or taking time for the fans after
the races.
Howie

seafood restaurant. He's used to working hard- and staying with
a task until it's complete. His family including his daughters Leanne
and Stephanie and his extensive family, have always supported his
racing activities,usually traveling with the team to races, and
providing socialization activites after the racing. Howie drove
the #97 for about 15 years. Ealier this year he donated a kidney
to his older daughter, Leanne, so he's decided to take the duty
of team manager/crew chief for the season.
Howie's
