Happy Father’s Day to the guys who make Evans Racing possible.
Only one of them is actually our dad, but the truth is, we are lucky enough to have a whole team of amazing men who show up for us, believe in us, teach us, encourage us, and spend countless hours helping us chase this crazy racing dream.
We are so grateful for the guys that make this all possible. The late nights in the shop. The hours spent dialing in the cars. The endless loading, unloading, fixing, cleaning, towing, and wrenching. The time. There’s no more precious gift they could ever give us. And that’s something we don’t take for granted.
The sacrifices by families at home so these guys can spend another night helping us get ready for the next race.
Today is for them.
❤️ Rj Hitch … You have your own kids, stepkids, and grandkids, but somehow you’ve still found time to treat us like we’re your own. You’re the strong and steady of this team. The guy we can always count on for motivation, a smile, a laugh and even the hard truth. You’ve never missed a beat this season. Between the motivational playlists, the laughs, the advice, and the countless hours helping us, you’ve made us better racers and better people. We are so thankful for you.
❤️ Allan Austin … Somewhere along the way, you stopped being a friend of the team and became family. You’ve become like an uncle to us and a mentor we respect so much. The amount of time you have given us scaling cars, dialing them in, and looking over every little detail is incredible. Your attention to detail is unmatched and your knowledge of the car and the sport is so impressive… but it’s the talks, encouragement, and belief in us that mean even more. You keep us driven to win, and your family has become part of ours too. We look up to you and appreciate you more than you will ever know.
❤️ Uncle John Sears … You loved us from the very beginning. Long before race day, before victories, before any of this. When you married our aunt, you became family, but you’ve always treated us like your own. The countless hours you spend in the shop helping prepare our cars never go unnoticed. The time you’ve spent on this team through the years shows not only your love for the sport, but your love for us. Your support means the world to us, and we can’t tell you how much we appreciate all of the sacrifices you make for this team and for us. We love you and are grateful for you, today and always.
❤️ Uncle Dylan Tull … Technically you’re Mom’s cousin, but around here family titles get a little confusing. 😂 What matters is you’ve always been there. You work long hours on the farm, are an amazing dad to Sadie, and still try to squeeze in time to travel with us and support us whenever you can.
❤️ Pop-Pop Terry … From the grandstands to the pit area, you’ve been one of our supporters from the start. Thank you for sponsoring us and showing up whenever you can. We know life gets busy, but it always means so much when you come to a
race. Knowing you’re in our corner means more than you know and we’re thankful for everything you do for us. We love you.
❤️ Dad … Where do we even start? You’re our biggest cheerleader, biggest supporter, the first one to say “Let’s go racing.” You’re guy who drops everything when a car gets torn up and tries to turn it around before the feature. The guy who somehow finds a way when there doesn’t seem to be one. When things go wrong, you teach us to keep going. When things go right, you remind us to stay humble. You show us what hard work, sacrifice, faith, and family look like not just on race day but every single day. You are our hero. And maybe… just maybe… we got our love of speed from you. We love you so much and are so grateful for a dad that’s our best friend too. ❤️
Racing is full of father figures who spend their weekends in hot race shops, tow rigs across state lines, miss sleep, spend countless hours turning wrenches, and pour their hearts into helping kids chase dreams.
Today we celebrate every one of you.
The dads.
The bonus dads.
The uncles.
The grandpas.
The crew chiefs.
The pit papas.
The men who make racing possible.
Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Evans Racing.
We are grateful for you more than you’ll ever know. ❤️🏁
