Horn AutoRacing

 

The Horn family has over 40 years experience in the racing and high performance industries.  For the first 25 years Fred Horn won hundreds of Late Model races throughout the country.  This led to the creation of a high performance engine building business that has built winning engines for almost every class of vehicle.   For the last 15 years Chris and Fred have been focusing on developing Chris into a champion racing driver.  After being successful in their previous racing efforts, they formed Horn AutoRacing, LLC to develop a NASCAR Racing team. 

 

In 1997 Horn AutoRacing began racing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.  After many successes and the development of a knowledge base, Horn AutoRacing is moving up to the NASCAR Busch Series for 2004.  The Busch Series is the 3rd most watched sport in America; behind Nextel Cup and NFL. Chris and Fred feel that the Busch Series will not only maximize team exposure but will achieve greater marketing power for our sponsors.

 

Horn AutoRacing and its Busch Series efforts have been built from the ground up. The team is a family run operation with each member having an interest in the team's success.  Each year we have upgraded our equipment, further developed our engine program, and utilized a limited race schedule to develop a first class race team.

 

Horn AutoRacing is ready to compete in the NASCAR Busch Series at a championship level.  In order to attain this goal the team needs a marketing partnership that will allow us to achieve our goals while helping our partner effectively market their products.  Chris is a graduate engineer who has many years of racing and off track experience.  He not only understands the mechanical and organizational aspects of a NASCAR race team, but he is also well spoken and excels in marketing a sponsor's products.
