The Family

Cody is a third-generation race car driver.  His family, including his father, John, has been successful in NHRA drag racing for decades.  Cody, unlike his family predecessors, chose the path of circle-track racing rather than follow on the straight-line path set forth by the rest of his family.  Cody’s mother, Di, and sister, Kennedi, attend Cody’s races in support of their favorite driver.

 

The Race Track

Spitzer Motor Speedway originally opened in 1959. The track, formerly known as Mansfield Motorsports Park, used to host NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races. The facility closed in 2010, but reopened in 2016 as Spitzer Motor Speedway.
