The Crew

I have known Lucas for basically his whole life. Actually as our story goes Lucas' father Dave Jones and my father Gary Kruchka were both members in a bluegrass band called the East Mountain Boys. As youngsters we spent most of our summers causing trouble in and around bluegrass festivals and all these years later I am still proud to have Lucas as a friend and a crew member on the #01.

Lucas is without a doubt the pillar of the Big Moose Racing Crew and always will be.

Mike has been a huge supporter of my racing effort since 2002. I met Mike in a rather random deal. He was operating an automotive repair garage at the time called "Pitt On Route Automotive" on Barton St. in Hamilton. I was helping a buddy look for a sports car and I drove past Mike's shop and saw an RX-7 that he had for sale. We stopped in and asked about the car. My buddy bought the car and Mike bought a security system off of our family business. 

By the time I had finished installing his alarm I had convinced Mike to sponsor me and my DIRT Sportsman, I can't even describe how much his input and effort helped me get to the track those first few seasons. Without Mike's dedication early on I can't imagine how things would of went. All I can say for sure is that the path to where I am now would have been much more rocky. Mike's automotive knowledge and eagerness to get down to work is second to none. Whenever he is at the shop the crew and I know it will be an early night!

To be perfectly honest I have only known Ken since about the end of the 2008 season. It truly feels like I have been friends with him for much longer than that though.

Ken made his way to the track with Lucas Jones, he showed an interest in the team so we put him to work. Myself and the the rest of the crew are extremely fortunate to have Ken on our team. I can't even put in to words how valuable he is to Big Moose Racing. Between his automotive knowledge and work ethic along with a great personality I can say that no matter what I get us in to we will always have a good time getting out as long as Ken is around!
