Hi, my name is Nate Wanders.
I am 22 years old and drive car #34.
I am also a member of the Barn Boyz Racing Team.
I have been racing Figure 8's for 7 years.
This year I have split my racing between Figure 8 Racing and Stock Car Racing at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, so you haven't seen me out there as much this year as you have in the past.
I really enjoy racing, totally love it!
My favorite part of racing is the rush, the excitement, the thrill of a win, being with my friends and family, and being around a lot of people who love the racing sport as much as I do!
Some of my favorite things include:
Figure 8 Racing, Stock Car Racing, NASCAR Racing, Demo Derby's, horsepower, building motors,
Jill, hunting, my friends,
the colors Orange and Blue, Jill's Chicken Casserole, & having fun.
During my 7 years of racing Figure 8's I have discovered what a roll over is like
only to crawl out and find another car resting on top of mine & experienced what it is like to
fly in the Life Flight Helicoptor (missed all the fire works that year!).
The last two years have been good years in Figure 8 Racing.
In 2001 I finished 7th in points at the Barnes City Track and in the top 20 at the What Cheer Track.
This year I have raced at Barnes City, What Cheer, Sigourney, and Brooklyn Tracks.
I am not up there in points this year because I have devoted a lot of time to my Stock Car,
but I still loved every minute of Figure 8 Racing when I have been there!
I would like to thank all of my sponsors for their continued faith and support,
I couldn't do what I do without you!!:
