Driver - Matt Harms

Matt started going to the races at the age of 6 with his Dad, helping him out with his mini sprint. After 6 years of this Matt finally got to take his first laps as a driver in karts. Four years after that at the age of 16 his Dad decided to retire from racing and Matt took over the driving responsibilities of the three-quarter midget his Dad had been driving. After a successful rookie season in TQ’s and two feature wins in a row Dave and Matt Harms (D&M Racing) got into sprint cars in 1999.

Team Owner/Crew Chief - Dave Harms

Dave got his racing career started in 1957 racing karts. After many successful seasons in karts he made the jump to running micro midgets. A call from Uncle Sam and the birth of two daughters stalled the racing efforts in the early 70’s. Then in 1988 a mini sprint was purchased and the racing resumed. In 1994 Dave started driving TQ midgets until 1998 with many top 10, top 5, top 3 and winning finishes.
