About Us
As of April 18, 2009, Andy and Katherine are now Mr. and Mrs. Eatwell.
Having both been born into racing families, it makes perfect sense that they met at the racetrack.  When not
competing at the racetrack, they enjoy going to the lake with family, working on projects at home and hanging
out with friends.
Both Kat and Andy enjoy their experience working with Ride and Drive Programs as high performance
drivers.

We would like to thank the following people in addition to all of our great sponsors for their support:
The Aragon Family:  Jim & Charlotte, James, Megan & Hayley
Margy Eatwell,  Mark & Wanda Pray
Last but not least…. Adam Bunney – the best crew member we could ask for!!
Katherine Aragon
Born:  April 23, 1976
Started Racing:  Minisprint, 2005
 Andy Eatwell
Born:  October 14, 1968
Started Racing:  Quarter Midgets, 1972
Katherine got the racing bug from watching her Dad Jim
Aragon and uncle Warren Wampole racing Super
Modifieds at the Globe-Miami Speedway when she was
growing up.  Later on, Dad got back into racing, but now it
was Sprint Cars all over the Southwest.  Katherine was
always excited to help out her Dad racing whenever she
could.  When her Dad turned the Sprint Car seat over to
her Brother James, Katherine continued as part of the pit
crew.  She had the chance to hot lap the sprint car a
couple times at practice night and was hooked!

With Charlotte Aragon as her first car owner, the 29
year-old rookie set out to start racing with the help of her
family.  The first year brought some bad luck with an
engine failure at her very first race in 2005.  She worked
to get in as many races as she could and continued to
improve.

In 2006, Katherine was getting more comfortable and
competitive.  A bad crash on May 5, 2006 sidelined her for
the rest of the season.  To see video of the wreck click
here.  With the support of Andy and her family and
friends, she was able to recover from her injuries.

Determined that she had not accomplished what she had
set out to do, Katherine bought a car and with Andy as
her crew chief was able to get back out onto the track.  
She continued to work and improve and raced most of the
2007 and 2008 seasons.  The highlight of her career up
until now is almost winning her first race (she led 8 out of
the 10 laps) in the B Main of the 2008 Keizer Memorial
Race.
 When Andy was born, his brother and sisters were
already racing Quarter Midgets.  He got started at 4 years
old and had many successful years racing Quarter
Midgets.  He was the 1983 Quarter Midget National
Champion.

The family then moved in to Midget racing in Colorado.  
Andy and his brother Tom raced successfully for their Dad
John for many years.  Andy won his first race ever in a
midget.

Andy then moved on to racing sprint cars and got the
chance to live his dream by racing full-time throughout the
Midwest.

Andy had a long and successful driving career.  After a
midget wreck in Kansas left him injured, he took a few
years off.  He later found his place as a crew chief.

With one Sprint Car championship under his belt, he
spent a couple more years as a crew chief for other
teams.  As the crew chief on Katherine’s Minisprint, Andy
is not only responsible for maintaining her car; he is also a
coach, sharing his knowledge gained in over 30 years of
racing experience.

In 2007 Andy had the opportunity to drive a Mod Lite.  He
has said that they are one of the most challenging yet fun
cars he has ever driven.  In 2008 Andy drove whenever
the opportunity arose and schedules allowed.  He is
looking forward to splitting time in 2009 between his duties
as Minisprint Crew Chief and racing a Mod Lite as much
as he can.
