About Gauge
Gauge is 15 years old and finished his freshman year at Timberlake High School. Racing is in this kid's blood. While he may not be legal to drive on the highways, he is a force to be reckoned with on the track. At 10 years old, Gauge was the youngest competitor in the Roadrunner class. He pushed hard and by the age of 13 took home multiple heat and main event race wins, a championship race win, and a season points championship in Roadrunners. Never willing to settle Gauge wanted the bigger and faster option of a V8 motor which led him to Hobby Stock. Again, the youngest in the class he proved himself a worthy competitor finishing his first-year 6th in points and 3rd in the championship race at 14 years old. 2022 proved to be a frustrating season. After a car destroying crash in his Hobby Stock, he tried his hand in a Late Model. However, due to several supply chain issues his car was only race ready for the last 2 races of the season finishing a respectable 4th and 7th place. Gauge is excited to be back on the track in his Hobby Stock for the 2023 season and will be pushing hard for the front in true Gauge style.
