Mike Earnhardt – Mechanic

Every race team is looking for top mechanics and Mike “Bigfoot” Earnhardt has earned that reputation in the racing industry. A mechanic since 1985 and a race technician since 1989, Earnhardt is a former racer himself. He has compiled an impressive array of knowledge and experience in that timeframe. Earnhardt started working on the team’s Superstock bikes in 2003 and his machines instantly became contenders in the highly competitive class, with reliability to match the speed needed to finish on top of the podium. Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Earnhardt now lives near the team's shop in Athens, Alabama.
