Driver Information

United States Air Force veteran. Proudly served for seven years active duty before returning home to Iowa. In that time I was fortunate enough to travel the world. I lived in Japan, England and Utah. I had temporary assignments in Alaska and Norway. My job title was munitions systems journeyman. After completing my enlistment I joined the Ironworkers apprenticeship and have recently became a journeyman. I had one son (Odin) born in England another (Orion) born in Utah. They currently live in West Virginia with their mother during the school year. You may see them at the track often when they are here for spring and summer break. They are the best crew I could ask for. Coming this November our daughter will be joining the team. My dream would be to one day race a hobby stock. However family always comes first. Sport Compact is in our budget and I am beyond blessed to have the opportunity to race. There's a little information about me. Follow our social media for more updates and our YouTube for incar videos. Both are "Cristian Grady Racing." Hope you enjoy the race!
