Broc Champlin joins Schumacher Racing

Schumacher Racing have announced that top US racer Broc Champlin has joined their team. Keen to expand their US driver lineup, Broc brings some serious speed to the proceedings. Having already achieved so many great results at the young age of 18, Broc is sure to step things up to another level for Schumacher Racing in the USA. His most recent race results saw him winning both the 2wd and 4wd modified classes, at the hugely competitive Florida Carpet Championships held at Beachline Raceway. Broc has finished in the top 10 at the last two Invite Reedy Race of Champion offroad events, and he’s also previously won both the open and the junior classes too. Broc had the following to say:

I’m ecstatic to join such an elite race team. The support already from Schumacher has been awesome. We were in talks last year and didn’t do anything, this year, we pulled the trigger. My carpet program is going to excel even more. As many know, Schumacher has the best carpet equipment. Dirt racing, same thing, that 4wd is going to be an animal and I’m excited to work together with everyone at Schumacher with the development of product in all areas. I’ll be dabbling in On-Road once again, these cars are also extremely good. They aren’t 1/12th Modified World Champs for no reason.
