Crew Chief and Transport
Driver: Eric Aasen
Eric is 31-years-old and literally
grew up at racetracks, being dragged there by his parents nearly every other
week during the season. He was cursed from birth (and before) with a love of racing
having heard racecar engines in the womb as his mother worked as a 'Phone Girl'
on corners at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in Rockton, IL. He attended his
first race at the tender age of 6 months old, he would've been younger at his first if not
for the fact that he was born in November and the next race wasn't until April.
Eric is a graduate of the Jim
Russell Mechanics Training Program and the Jim Russell Driver's School.
He has been employed as a lead mechanic and transport driver for various teams
such as Cape Motorsports in Palmetto, Florida and G.FRO Racing out of San
Clemente, California, both of whom compete in the FF2000 Series. He has
also worked for Team American Speed Factory out of Hallandale Beach, FL and
Velocity Motorsports from Prospect Hill, NC who both compete in the Star Mazda
Championship Series. Along with his FF2000 and Star Mazda experience he
has worked as a crew member in Trans-Am and for
various SCCA teams.
Eric is single and a graduate of
the University of North Dakota with a Bachelor of Science in Aviation. He
is a licensed pilot with Multi and Single Engine Commercial/Instrument ratings
and has a Class A Commercial Drivers License.
