Chris Cole started his racing hobby when he was 23 years old. He traded a truck for his first race car, a stock four cylinder Ford Mustang. It was red, which worked out good for him since it was his favorite color. He thought of the number 27 because he remembered seeing pictures of his father's old race car from back in the 1960's and it was numbered 27. After trading to get the race car he started racing at an asphalt track named Anderson Motor Speedway in Anderson, South Carolina. His first race was a crazy one after only getting to practice once, starting 11th and finished 7th in the race, and drove to miss a couple of wrecks along the way to completing his first race. After that he knew he was hooked. He raced at Anderson a few more times before he took his car to a local favorite dirt track in Laurens, South Carolina nick named "The Darlington of Dirt Tracks" Laurens County Speedway. Chris started racing at Laurens weekly and finished the racing season that year at Laurens finishing 7th in points. He raced for a couple more years going around to other short tracks in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.

Some of the dirt tracks he raced at are: Harris Speedway (N.C.), Buffalo Motor Speedway (S.C.), and Hartwell Speedway (GA.). After doing all this racing for a few years and never getting a feature win, he had to sell all of his racing equipment. While his Marine Corps Career took him overseas, his love of the sport never left. After his overseas tour, he was stationed in California where he just could not afford to race. After moving to Huntsville, Alabama in October 2007 he settled down and started thinking about racing again.

In the spring of 2008 his dream came true again. After talking it over with his wife, Chris was able to buy another race car. This time though it was different, Chris and his wife bought a front wheel drive Eagle Talon race car to race at Huntsville Legendary Speedway in the Amateur Buzz Division. His first race in Alabama was on April 25th and he has been racing there every week since. He won his first feature win on May 9th 2008. Chris ended up 4^th in the 2008 season Points Championship, even after missing the first 5 races of the 2008 season. After winning the first race of the 2009 season in Amateur buzz Chris has moved up to the Pro Buzz Division finishing 5^th in the 2009 season Points Championship. For the 2010 racing season he will be racing in the Hot Shot Division. Chris is going to continue to strive to do his best on and off the track. His ultimate goal in racing is to win a Points Championship and to someday drive a Super Late Model or an Open Wheel Modified. Chris Cole has racing in his blood and probably always will. So on any given weekend if you want to find Chris you may start your hunt at one of the local race tracks.
