Gary Crooks has been around racing practically all of his life.  His experience is second-to-none.  He understands the business, the cars, and has a track record to prove it. It’s about dedication and improvement and that is what Crooks Racing is built upon. The goal of Gary and his team of guys is to make their customers’ program better than it was before. 

"Gary is very driven to win, which is shown by his work ethic, he is very easy to fit in to your race team like he has been a part of it forever.  Gary has brought my race team to a new level, I look forward to working with him for many years to come and consider him one of the best chassis and shock guys out there."

"Gary has truley been the complete reason for my success behind the wheel of a super late model. He let me drive the car and tuned the handling to fit my style of driving and for me that was a huge plus. Overall Gary gave me confidence I needed in myself to turn me into a race winning driver and that's exactly what happened."

"There isn't a harder worker than Gary.  He is like a machine.  He knows no such thing as 9am-5pm.  He goes until it is done.  I've spent a lot of time with him, about five or six years, and there are times where we had to work for 20-24 hours straight.  At times, he only stopped working because everyone around him was used up, or he would have kept going. He is a great guy.  Racing is his way of life.  That is what he knows.  He's a good motivator.  You think you are working hard until you work with him, and then you realize that you are leaving some on the table."

"Gary and I have been best friends all of our lives and I would take a bullet for him.  He's a guy who puts 110 percent in everything he does. He is very focused and a hard worker. There is no one better and no one who wants to win more than him. But above all he's focused and it's his life. He is good at what he does."
