About Me
Hello!,
My name is Lance Lipasek, I am 16 years old, currently residing with my family in Washington Township, Michigan! I've been an aspiring racer & car kid since my toddler days. My start in racing came in 2013, after years of begging to race. My parents finally gave in and bought me and my brother quarter midgets. In 2014, I advanced into competitive quarter midget classes and raced throughout Michigan and Ohio. The 2015 season arrived as I now raced all over the mid-west with the Midwest Thunder Series. This was very much a learning year for me and my team as I went from 75 to 90 lbs. and that makes the car (only 300 lbs.) handle much differently, and with my dad not coming from a racing background and not having factory support like some of our competitors, we struggled with the handling of my cars. In 2016, my luck started to turn around me and my dad began to figure out the cars and tune & drive them better. By the end of the 2016 season, we were competing for podiums (15-25 car fields!). In 2017, we began contending for wins as I would pick up many podium finishes and wins that season. In 2018, I had a breakthrough season! I dominated the Mod WF (Run on Methanol, 18-20 hp in a 340 lbs. car!) class in the Midwest Thunder series and picked up the championship by a landslide. In 2019, my focus came off of my driving in quarter midgets and it shifted to crew chiefing for someone else, and also assisting with my little brother's racing. As a crew chief leading Krybaby Performance, I picked up numerous wins, and championships. To add, with a rookie driver! I setup, driver coached, and consulted the Krybaby Performance team for almost a year and the growth for their entire team & driver in that time was amazing! I worked with Krybaby from June 2019 until around June of 2020, and almost all of Krybaby's early success in Quarter Midgets was due to my help & knowledge, and there are many that can attest to that! My brother also picked up numerous wins, and went on to win his last quarter midget race! In December of 2019, we bought a Street Stock Stock Car! In 2021, we were only able to make 6 Starts due to us moving, but improved the car every time, running in the top 5 most weeks. In our final start, we had the #99 Mustang on a rail, & was able to win! Stay tuned for 2022 plans!
