Shad Huntley -- Shad's father, Stan, founded Driving Ambition/Faspec, and inspired the auto racing passion in his son at an early age. As a teen, with sponsorship from Driving Ambition, Shad won 4 IKF Karting Championships, becoming a registered "EXPERT" along with fellow drivers Scott Pruett, Mark Dismore, Jamie McMurray and the late Greg Moore. After graduating with honors from Wyoming Technical Institute Shad began his career as mechanic with long-time family friends Doug Peterson and Don Erb of Comptech Machine and their championship-winning IMSA Camel Lights Acura. After 3 seasons of domination the team headed to open-wheel racing in the CART series where Shad became the youngest Chief Mechanic ever and, in 1997 was named Chief Mechanic of the Year while heading the Carl Hogan team with rookie driver Dario Franchitti. Later that year, Shad decided to lend his technical expertise to Comptech as director of product development of their race-inspired performance parts for Acura and Honda.Read More
