BIO:
The #15 Gracin Raz from Lake Oswego, Oregon began quarter midget racing at the age of 6 where he won Rookie of the Year Honors at his home club in Portland. In 2005 he competed in his first Grand National event where he caught the attention of many after qualifying both of his cars fourth, in fields of up to 60 cars, and finishing third in each A-main event.

Gracin's results on track have not slowed. In addition to being recognized as PQMRA's Junior and Senior Driver of the Year, Gracin has tied up 5 Region Championships within the largest region for QMA; 2 Winter National Championships, and set multiple track records still standing today.  Gracin's achievements also include advancing to 13 A-main events in both Eastern and Western Grand National events where he landed 6 podium finishes and a total of 10, top five finishes.
On a personal level, Gracin has been instrumental in helping develop the racing career of his youngest brother Kole, who at the age of 8 is already a 3 time Region Champion and Winter National champion.  Gracin personally designed his family's racing logo and motto "GK - 2 Brothers, 1 Vision" that is now one of the most recognized logos within quarter midgets.
A Freshman at Lakeridge High School, Gracin will be taking over John Jackson's #20 car in 2012 where he will begin learning the ins and outs of this next series while also wrapping up his final year in quarter midgets.
