Central Pa. Sprint Car Team
Wes Irwin
Wes grew up watching sprint cars at the local race tracks and dreamed of one day racing them himself. Through a lot hard work and many years of racing in other types of sports, his dream had finally become a reality a few years ago.
It takes a special kind of person to be able to fufill a dream such as this and Wes has proved to have every ounce of courage, stamina and determination needed to do just that.
Wes has worked hard his entire life. He is a man of complete dedication in all he has done and continues to do. While enjoying his sunshined filled life in South Florida, Wes raced jet skis until he was ranked 2nd in the World and then made his journey back to PA. for a change. Starting his auto racing career in 4 cylinder stock cars and some micro sprint racing he quickly climbed his way to the top.
In 2005, Wes finally strapped himself into a sprint car. In the few years that he has had the chance to be a part of this elite group of men and women, he has managed to make numerous feature events, win a few heat and consolation races.
The dream is not over...............
