3. More About
Quintin
By the time it was “legal” for him to drive a car, Quintin
Crye had been speeding up and down the coast of
California for over a decade.
That he’d been behind the wheel in a car without doors,
running on dirt or asphalt rather than the highway, was
of no consequence. For Quintin, it was all about driving
and driving fast.
“My dad was a drag racer and I always wanted to get into
it,” Quintin says. “At first I wanted to race motorcycles,
but that didn’t fly at home. So, they put me in a car and
let me go.”
4. Since 1996, Quintin has been one of the hottest drivers in
Northern California. He’s earned top-ten finishes in
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Western Late Model
races, been named the USAC Western Midget Rookie of the
Year in 2007 and been a Cycleland Open International
Champion.
These days Quintin, the only Native American driver in
NASCAR, is bouncing between his handmade late model
and a stock car, aiming to get on the track anyway he can.
“The only thing I want to do is race,” Quintin admits. “Any
where, any time. Strap me in, fire it up and let’s go.”
