About Joe
Joe was born in Indiana and grew up in a racing family. His dad Mike worked as a mechanic on an Indy Car team, and Joe could always be found in the shop with him. The family lived in Phoenix, Arizona for a short time where at the age of 8, Joe began racing go-carts and later, mini sprints and full sprint cars. In 1992, they moved back to Indiana and Joe began working on an Indy Car team himself. He also worked at Stealth and Beast before starting DRC Chassis in 2002.
​
The First DRC
The first DRC Chassis was built in 2002. It was a winged sprint car built for Kasey Kahne. Kasey and his team took the car to an All-Star race in Hartford, Michigan and won the first time out in the first ever DRC Chassis. From there, they made the haul to race the Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway in Washington and won that too.
​
That got the attention of racers and Joe’s phone started ringing. Before long he was building winged and non-winged sprint cars for the best racers across the country.
