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.

Jerel Reeves |
|
|
|
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…
