Long time friend Steve Thomson,  introduced Bill to iRacing and to The Old Bastards Racing League. With no prior experience with auto racing his short term goal is to attend as many practice sessions as possible to see if old dogs can learn new tricks.

He would eventually step away from the driver seat and begin learning the behind the scenes aspects of the business and started flagging races at local dirt tracks in 2003 then becoming race director for different tracks and series then from there he would find what he really enjoyed and that is announcing.

Crank is a retired Air Force Weatherman that served over 20 years. He set his aside his dream of racing cars to serve his country at the age of 22 and now lives out that dream through iRacing. He's now the Operations Manager of Crockett Ridge Golf Course in Kingsport, TN.

He made the decision to start sim racing in late 2018 instead of investing in his own Legends car. He said, "it just makes more sense to put the money into a nice simulator rig that I can race almost any discipline on any time I want to and not have to worry about tire expenses and somebody wrecking me and tearing up my real car."

Crank is sponsored by the T-Rex Xpress, an over the road owner operator Army Veteran and by the K-Bar N Grill owned by Kenny Boy, a Bravo 1/9 Marine Vietnam Veteran

I happened upon OBRL in September 2020 and have really enjoyed making friends with all the drivers.

I don't talk much while driving because of my inability to talk and drive without hitting something, but enjoy the comradery and listening. I am still in discovery phase and have an enormous amount to learn. While I have been to a few NASCAR races I did not understand it or try to, so now I am learning from scratch.

I held many technical & operations positions starting in Galveston, TX moving to Anchorage, AK then Rock Springs, WY and then back to Kenai, AK.

I’ve always been a NASCAR fan. I remember watching races on ABC’s Wide World of Sports. It took forever but I went to my first race in Las Vegas 2000. So far in retirement I’ve attended the Atlanta race 2019 and a bucket list race the 2020 Daytona 500.

I got started in iRacing April 2020 after watching a couple of the NASCAR Covid iRacing races. "I’m really glad I found the OBRL! Like others I prefer OBRL racing over official iRacing races. I continue to learn “Race-Craft” skills. My pace might be a bit slower but others respect me as I respect them ... and that’s one reason I stick with it!"

Thanks everybody!

New to online racing in 2022, he hopes to improve his game and be competitive sooner, rather than later.

Besides watching football film, online racing, or pulling for the Dawgs, Johnny can be found on the golf course trying to figure out a way to beat his daughter!

Gary Has been a lifelong fan of motorsports. He always planned on getting into some form of auto racing as a hobby.

While on a "forced vacation" from his work as a professional musician, he discovered iRacing and was hooked immediately. The first league he joined was the Old Bastards Racing League and he is still racing there because "it is some of the best racing he has found on the iRacing service".

Former superintendent in the golf course industry with the PGA Tour TPC @ Sawgrass Ponte Vedra Beach , FL

Build and race street drag Mustangs. Started sim racing in 2013 and fell in love with it.

My introduction into racing began in the early 70's when my dad took me to a small dirt track called Hayden Speedway, of Sault Ste Marie , Ontario. My favorite driver was Sonny MacIntosh. Sonny was a mechanic at Canadian Tire. Who would have thought that I would one day work at Canadian Tire.
I got my start in online racing with Nascar 3. I joined Can-Am Racing Org. shortly there after. Their philosophy was much the same as OBRL. I made some good friends there. After the 2012 season I step away from online racing because of health issues.
I returned to online racing when I joined Iracing in 2019. Shortly after I joined OBRL.
My favorite drivers over the years have been A.J . Foyt and Jeff Gordon. Since Gordon's retirement I now root for any Hendricks driver.
My first wheel was a basic gaming wheel and pedal. I progressed to an ECCI wheel and pedal ( til it died ) . I now use a Logitech wheel and pedal set.
My dream is to be adopted by Dwayne Mac in the hopes I would be able to afford a G2 vr headset and Fanatec pedal and wheel set.
Being one of the slowest I still enjoy running with the Bastards! Hopefully one day I will finish with a top ten.

David has been a race fan as long as he can remember. In 2002 he purchased a Legends car. 2003 he ran both the Wed & Sat night programs at Waterford Speedbowl in CT.

To be able to race alongside guys every week who share the same respect and passion you do for this sport was impressive. Unfortunately, a few weeks into the 2004 season would be the last time for David on that side of the fence.

Jump ahead to Nov 2016, he join iRacing. Competing in the public events and was absolutely frustrating with the level of disrespect drivers had for each other. David was done. Someone suggested try league racing. He found the Old Bastards Racing League after watching a video by John Hastings. Feb 2017 David joined and has never looked back. League racing is awesome! Great guys, new friends and most of all respect and passion for the sport.
