Team Profile

Dad (Tim Barndt) - Who would have ever thought that when he got me into racing 1/4 midgets at the age of 5, that I would be where I am now. He is my biggest supporter, crew chief, technical support, mental support, and best friend. If it wasn't for my dad helping me become the person and racer that I am today, I would not have been able to accomplish what I have. I'm lucky to have him for a dad.

Mom (Michelle Barndt) - My mom is always there for me. I could count on one hand, how many races she missed. She always takes care of keeping us well fed. She also takes care of reservations. She can't control her nerves at the race track! She always paces back and forth or has her head in her lap.She is the best mom anybody could have.

Dan Huston - Dan is my dad's right hand man on and off the track. He is the kind of guy that you could ask to do anything, anytime, anyplace, and he would be there. He is also a super fabricator and great friend. He is always available to pick his brain.

Eric Smith - He is my sister's fiancee, but soon became a track hand when they started dating. He had never been exposed to racing until he met our family and now is like one of us. He has broad shoulders and can take the heat that sometimes arrises in the pits. He is always there to lend a hand.

Tiffany Barndt - She is my sister, she raced for 7 years so she knows alot about racing and whenever she can be there, she is one of my biggest supporters and helpers. She isn't afraid to get her hands dirty if she needs to.

Dennis Koehler - Always there to lend a hand at the shop if we need something fabricated.

Bill Csaszar - He is my godfather, also great friend; In my early years of quarter midget racing he was always a great pit hand. As the years have gone on he is now my biggest promoter, always out there trying to help find sponsorships, one of the hardest things to find in this sport.

Gary - A long time friend who started out as an extra set of hands at his first race and he was hooked. Gary has since become a very valuable part of our team, spending countless hours at the shop and at the track. We are greatful to have him as part of the team.

Al - Last but not least, there is Al. He is very important because he takes care of an important part of our family, our dog Mateus. We appreciate everything else he does.
