DRIVER NAME: Matt Mellott # 6m

DIVISION: Cruiser-Hobby Stock

CHASSIS: 1978 Chevy Monte Carlo

ENGINE: 350 c.i.

SPONSORS: None. Just a lot of help from friends and family, we need a few sponsors though.

DATE OF BIRTH: 8/06/67

FAMILY: Michelle (wife), Sons Mathew and Michael

HOBBIES: Racing, basketball, camping, hunting, computer, video games, movies, music, reading, banging on my drums

GREATEST CAREER HIGHLIGHT: Getting a hard charger trophy @ Bedford Speedway

YEARS RACING: 4

I’VE RACED AT THE FOLLOWING TRACKS: Bedford, Hesston, Port Royal, Selinsgrove

FAVORITE FOOD: Hoagies, Pizza, Spaghetti, Lasagna, Chili Dogs, you get the idea

FAVORITE RECORDING ARTISTS: If it has a beat…

MY FAVORITE NASCAR DRIVER IS: Mark Martin first (or any team car if he isn’t doing well). Then I’ll cheer for Dale Jr. to appease my wife and oldest son.

MY HERO IS: Anyone in uniform

AS A CHILD, MY FAVORITE DIRT TRACK DRIVER WAS: I didn’t follow racing until I was 20 years old, my first race was an Outlaw race @ Hagerstown. I was hooked. I liked them all.

MY FIRST RIDE IN A RACE CAR WAS: A BLAST!!!! My own Enduro car (’77 Cougar) @ Port Royal in ’97, 100 laps. (I got tired of standing in the pits watching and helping)

MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEDFORD SPEEDWAY IS: The FANS! Although I wish more of them would stick around for our feature. I also think J.R. and Ken zooming around on the 4 wheelers talking to us is cool.


THE BEST ADVICE I’D GIVE A CHILD IS: Stay in school, listen to your elders, stay out of trouble!!!


SOMETHING THAT MAY SURPRISE YOU ABOUT ME IS:
I am a teacher at the Youth Forestry Camp at Trough Creek.
