Brian
Wong |

Brian graduated in 2007 from Newport Harbor High School. He is currently a freshman at Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts).
After only 5 years in organized racing, Brian is entering his inaugural years in both the NASCAR Camping World West Series (formally grand National West) and the International Motor Sports Association Series (Porsche GT3 Cup cars). He is looking forward to a limited schedule, working around his college semesters in Boston.
Brian started in motorsports almost since birth. His parents have a photo of him on a quad at Pismo at age 3 months. He got involved with organized racing at age 14, driving Legends cars. Since then he has moved to Super Trucks, Late Models and Super Late Models, in NASCAR weekly series, home track is Irwindale, California. He is also racing Porsche GT3 Cup factory race cars, at various road course tracks, throughout America, such as Road America, Infineon and Laguna Seca. In the past 3 years he has pre-run the Baja 500 in a specialty built Wide Open Baja car.
Looking into 2008, Brian will be racing a combination of both NASCAR and the IMSA GT Challenge races. The NASCAR series will be a portion of the West schedule, together with some short track racing at the Team home track at Irwindale. The Porsches will run at tracks from California to Utah, from Atlanta to Canada. The GT3 Cup cars will also race some series, such as Yokohama Drivers Cup and the Porsche Owners Club.
Aside from driving on asphalt, Brian looks forward to relaxing with friends off roading on the sands of Pismo, Glamis, and Dumont Dunes.

Graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard University, at age 12
Worked a short time for NASA on the “Space Shuttle”
After my release from Federal Prison for filing a false job application, I went on a lecture tour trying to advance my theory of “time travel”, which I worked out while in prison.
Upon my release from California State Mental Hospital, I decided to pursue a career in auto racing. That is how I came to work at Speed Wong Racing.
Highlights of my racing career (in no particular order):
- L & R Racing – crashed at every race
- Worked for 4 teams, which filed for bankruptcy, and went out of business
- Worked for a team, which was raided by the FBI, for human trafficking, and smuggling of counterfeit racing parts, the owner is now doing 345 years in prison (I hope he doesn’t get any ideas about my time travel theory)
- Worked hard to stay on the West Coast, all of my buddies who moved to North Carolina are now “Cup” car chiefs of head up the fab shop. This plan, so far, hasn’t worked for me.
Conclusion:
I’ve perfected travel into the past, if I could only figure out how to see into the future, I might be able to make….these voices…those damn voices….again…

Josh works as a dispatcher for CEMEX, a concrete company. He started working for CEMEX right out of high school, and has been there for about 3 years.
His love of racing started when his cousins introduced him to racing, and got him hooked working on race cars, particularly late models, which they race. That was 7 years ago, and Josh continues to expand his knowledge while working as a pit crew team member, for Speed Wong Racing’s NASCAR Camping World West Series.
He enjoys being around any kind of racing as it’s always a good time.
