Today it’s time for another game of “What do the race car drivers drive when they’re not driving race cars?”
We’ve all seen what they commandeer at the track - now you’ll get the dirt on what they drive during the regular work week.

Andy Forsberg is a great person to start with because he doesn’t drive too much. It’s been mentioned here that he rides a scooter from his home to his shop, the byproduct of such a short commute. He doesn’t have to hit the roads too often, but when he does, Forsberg trusts a 2001 Chevy Silverado. And it’s a lightly used model, because he said he’s only racked up 1,800 miles on it in 16 months.

Kevin Sharrah’s is the opposite. The Chico driver does his cruising around town in a 1994 Chevy Tahoe.

“It’s a beater,” he said. “I had a Ford F-250 but had to sell it because of diesel prices.”

And then there’s Dan Simpson, of Rio Vista. Dan prefers to take his vehicle on and off road and utilizes a 1-ton Chevy ranch truck, he said.

“It’s another world, it doesn’t even compare. The race car is such an adrenaline rush.”

And a preview for tomorrow: A look at some of California’s other top dirt-track racing venues. Come on back and check it out!
