This months showcase driver for the Pro-Mod class is Bobby Lockyear..

 

 

 

From Bobby Himself:

I'm married for 11 years. I have two children, Cody17 and Crysta14. We are foster parents. I live in Chandler In. I am a graduate of the University of Evansville/ Paramedic. I am also a graduate of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy.
I drive a Pro Modified Ford 2.0. I currently race at Chandler Motor Speedway (Chandler In)and High Banks Speedway (Philpot KY)

I have been racing for a total of four a half years. I became interested by accident. I was working security at CMS while I was a police officer and found out a few friends raced. I became more interested and started coming to the races that I wasn't there to work. The last race of the season a friend let me drive his street stock and I was HOOKED for sure.

My favorite professional racer is Tony Stewart. I like his honest opinions even if you don't always agree with what he has to say. My favorite local drivers Bobby Taylor (UMP Open Wheel) like Tony Stewart, Bobby gives you an honest opinion of what he thinks you're doing right or wrong. Larry (Buck) White. (Vintage) Buck taught me a lot of how to get started. He also is there to cheer me on or kick me in the butt, if needed.


The best part of racing from the start is it has been a family thing. My Mom and Dad were there every night before my Dad's health has gotten worse. My brother and I have raced against each other and with each other. He is the one who make sure everything is like it should. And last but not least my wife Summer. She is there week end and week out. She knows how to talk racing with me since she has been a scorer for CMS three years, in the past.

His Career Highlights:

99 Third place in season points and rookie of the year.
00 Forth place in season points
06 Fifth place in season points
07 Fourth place in season points.

The award that means the most to me is being voted one of the favorite driver awards at CMS in 99.

My plans for next year is pull this tired old motor and rebuild her. Watch out! To change the body style to a dirt late model. And to help the Pro Modified class grow!

His nickname is Bobby, always Bobby. Robert only if I'm in trouble!
