ABOUT MACDONALD MOTORSPORTS

While the company carries his last name, owner Randy MacDonald named it not after himself, but after the family that has continually offered support in his racing career. His father, Merrill “Doc” MacDonald, and mother Pat were there even before the foundation of the company, making provisions for Randy's racing dream early in his life. After Randy began racing professionally and established his own company, his entire family continues to support him. His wife Gina helps with bookkeeping and finances, mother Pat helps with administrative duties and sister Teri helps with marketing and public relations and has, at times, taken on driving and spotting duties. Randy's father Doc helped him establish business relationships and carry out other important functions of the team until finishing his own race in March of 2007. Despite his death, Doc's impact on the team will not end, as MacDonald Motorsports continues on in his honor and memory.

 

 

 

ABOUT RANDY MACDONALD

Randy MacDonald is an Oshawa, Ontario native with a passion for racing. Since he began driving his go-kart at the age of three, Randy's desire to succeed in professional motorsports has been continually growing. He began his racing career running races on the local short tracks of Ontario and worked his way up from there, earning Rookie of the Year Honors on the NASCAR North Tour (1985) and in the GM/Players Challenge Series (1987). MacDonald went on to compete in the GM National Stock Car Series, the highest lever of stock car racing in Canada at the time. He won the GM National Stock Car Series championship in 1990. This championship paved the way for MacDonald to fulfill his dream of racing stock cars in the United States. He competed in the ASA Challenge Series, earning 1993 Rookie of the Year Honors. MacDonald made his first NASCAR Cup Series Start in 1994 at North Carolina Speedway. MacDonald has since competed in several Cup and Busch series races and spent three full seasons in the Craftsman Truck Series. He has competed with some of the finest drivers of all time, including Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace, and the late Dale Earnhardt. Randy finished in the top 20 in final standings of each of his three full seasons in the Truck Series, most recently finishing 15th in 2003. Due in large part to neck injuries sustained at Daytona in 2001, Randy has recently cut back on driving to focus on a new chapter of his racing career: team ownership. MacDonald is continually searching for talented young stock car drivers that share his passion for racing and success. As owner of MacDonald Motorsports, Randy is responsible for the day to day running of the team, securing sponsorship and ultimately guiding his team to a winning position in the highly competitive NASCAR Nationwide Series.
