Built on Grit. Fueled by Nitro

.

Gas Roots Racing is a family-built motorcycle drag racing team with deep roots and zero shortcuts. What started in a garage with wrenches, late nights, and determination has grown into a competitive force driven by passion, discipline, and respect for the sport.

Our foundation was built in gas racing, where Loren cut his teeth learning the fundamentals, earning consistency, and developing a true respect for the machine. That groundwork paved the way for the leap to nitro — a progression that reflects who we are as a team: grow deliberately, learn constantly, and never skip the hard parts.

We don’t come from big money or factory backing. We come from hard work, blue-collar values, and a love for going fast. Every pass down the track reflects the same mindset that built our program from the ground up: earn it, maintain it, and give it everything you’ve got.

Thank you for stopping in. As our racing programs continue to grow, so will this site — with expanded features, behind-the-scenes content, and official Gas Roots Racing merchandise.

To our current and future partners: we value authentic relationships, brand loyalty, and representing our sponsors with integrity on and off the track. If you believe in grassroots racing, hard work, and real-world results, we’d be proud to build something together.

Welcome to Gas Roots Racing — where horsepower meets heart.
