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." - Lonnie Sommerville Super Late Model Driver
"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." - Matt Harris Super Late Model Driver
"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."- Travis Kittleson NASCAR Nationwide Series Driver / Super Late Model Driver
"I attended Gary's first short track seminar and at first I didn't know what to really expect but afterwards I left highly impressed from the moment it started on how in depth he went with all of his information. I can say without a doubt I was able to learn some things that I didn't know and at the end of the seminar that’s what you are hoping to accomplish. I would highly recommend someone to attend one of Gary's seminars and if he were to have another one in the future I would definitely attend." -Kent Vincent Canadian Pro Stock Veteran
