Dave Snell – Dave has been there for me since I started racing karts at three years old. He was the first one to realize my true potential as a racer. He helped Mom get me to and from the track and has always been a big part of our “pit crew”. Dave means a lot to me and it was hard this year having to run the Summer Shootout without him being there because he had to work most nights.
Kristy Snell – Kristy is my Mom. She’s been my “taxi” to the track since I started, and was always the one buckling me into the car seat at three years old after I got done racing the kart! I’m actually a fourth generation racer, so Mom taught me everything I know about driving (although she says she hasn’t taught me everything she knows!). She and Dave made the ultimate sacrifice moving here to North Carolina for me to continue my career. I can’t say thank you enough to either of them for that.
Kali Snell – Kali is my sister. She helps with our lap times at the track. She’s one of my biggest fans, always making up signs and supporting me even when she has to sit in the grandstand. She always brightens the mood at a race.
Kyle Beatty – Kyle will be our Legends Crew Chief this season, and will also help me with a Pro Challenge program later in the year. A huge thank you to Dan Snyder Racing, as they were a huge help in getting me to this point.
Tom Baker – Tom and Mike Calinoff are partners in Team Full Throttle, and they are my driver coaches and representatives. Tom helps me both on and off the track with making the right decisions so that I will have the best shot at success in racing. Mike spots for Dario Franchitti in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series and is a top notch driver coach and an avid supporter of our racing.
Charlie Acton – Charlie is my Grandpa. He’s probably the main reason I’m racing right now, because he got my Mom started in Karting when she was young. He’s always right in the middle of the action, volunteering to help with whatever he can. He’s been there for me throughout my career, and I love him with all my heart.
Jane Acton – Jane is my Grandma, and was also a key part of getting Mom started in her racing years ago. She’s always giving us ideas on what to do on and off the track. She’s a loyal fan and I look forward to her being at the track whenever possible.
Jim Pahud – Jim is my other Grandpa. He’s been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. He’s always on the computer looking up our results and schedules, and trying to keep up with our latest news. It’s always a special day for me whenever he and my Grandma PaHud show up at a race. Jim recently purchased me a back up car from TFT Teammate Thomas Hartensveld. I’m very thankful for his support.
Jamey Pahud – Jamey is my Dad. He’s been to most of my races and is always there to support me. He’s a really fun guy to be around at or away from the track. I really enjoy spending time with him whenever I have the opportunity. I’m very thankful for his support.
