After several discussions between Austin Schimmel Racing and Crockett Motorsports, we are proud to announce that Austin has joined Crockett Motorsports.
After finishing 3rd at SKUSA SuperNats and 2nd in the SKUSA Pro Tour, discussions for the 2011 season began. With such a strong run in Vegas, it became once again obvious that Austin was meant to be in this sport. The move to Crockett Motorsports seemed to be the best business decision to make.
Austin and Crockett Motorsports will be able to benefit from each other. Owner Derek Crockett, winner of the Pro Tour in the S2 class, will be able to closely work with Austin to better his on track and off track presence. Austin will be able to share his talents and abilities with the younger drivers on the team as well.
Crockett Motorsports was founded by Derek Crockett of Cahokia, Illinois at the end of the 2009 season. Derek has been karting for 13 years and has been working in a kart shop for 6. When asked about signing Austin Schimmel, Derek stated “We are very happy to have Austin on board with Crockett Motorsports, he will be a huge asset to our S5 program and I'm really looking forward to working with him in the 2011 season.”
Austin Schimmel started racing when he was 9 and never would have thought he’d be given an opportunity like this. When asked about moving teams Austin proudly stated “I am thrilled to be a part of such a close knit team like Crockett Motorsports. This is one of the best things that’s ever happened to me in karting!”
