Racing is the #1 sport

Get to know Joe...
Born in Mt View, California in 1971, Joe has lived in Idaho most of his life. In 2001, Joe and his lovely wife, Roseanne, married and moved to Nampa. Today they live in Star, Idaho with their two sons, Tommy, 4 years and James, 2 years.
Joe inherited his love of racing from his dad, Curt Daily and uncle, Mike Daily. At 8 years old, Dad and Uncle Mike started taking Joe to watch the races at Meridian Speedway.
At 17 years old, Joe got his first break with a ’69 Chevelle for his birthday. He dove into learning everything about the car from taillights to the transmission.
It was in 1999, at 28, that Joe really got the racing bug. Joe’s dad & Uncle started building race cars out in the garage and Joe was there with them, night after night, working along side them.
Joe attended BSU obtaining an Automotive Degree and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a technical certificate.
Joe’s raced often over the years and now that the boys are growing up....Joe says, “We’re going all the way.”
Joe's Unique Youth Mentoring Program
for the Prevention of Substance Abuse
Why "Racing Against Drugs"
By: Joe Daily
Prevention of drug and alcohol abuse is a cause I have dedicated my life to fight. Growing up, I witnessed how this type of abuse can destroy friends, families and lives. Being exposed to this drug and alcohol environment caused intense emotions ranging from pity to hatred for the users in my family.
Fortunately, there were amazing role models that helped me stay on track even though I was surrounded by dysfunction. Among these mentors were my grandparents, coaches and parents of childhood friends. People ask me why did I start "Racing Against Drugs"? The answer is simple...I want to help kids.
We all can make a diffierence in a child's life. By speaking to youth groups, offering free basic mechanic tutorials and including interested youth in my racing program.
In 2007, I successfully worked with dozens of youth to introduce them to racing and a fun alternative to drugs. We took kids and their families to the races to foster drug-free family time. We encouraged youth to become a part of their community by participating in and volunteering for youth-oriented community events.
I have spoken to youth at events and will continue this highly sucessful program in 2008. I am dedicated to being the type of mentor these kids can turn to.
The class of racing car is called Grand American Modified. These open-wheeled stock cars will push 50 to 70 mph on the 1/4 mile oval track at Meridian Speedway. The engine is a 350 cu in. crate motor. From April to the end of September, about 13 races will determine the Class Championship winner. With 25 cars on the track competing for the top position, excitement is edge-of-the-seat until the checkered flag drops.
