LAYNE SCHRANZ

PIKES PEAK | CHEVY

Layne grew up as the son of Pikes Peak Hill Climb legend, Randy Schranz. Layne started his racing career on motorcycles in 1979 with hopes of one day competing in a Stock Car on Pikes Peak like his father. In 1983 Layne transitioned from two wheels to four and started a 10 year career racing four wheeled ATV’s. 1997 would be the year all the preparation culminated as Layne climbed into his father’s Chevy Lumina and finished 4th place in the Super Stock Car Division on Pikes Peak. Layne’s great debut finish also earned him Rookie of the Year honors. From 2004 to 2010, Layne stacked up a remarkable and equally frustrating, five 2nd place finishes. 2012 was finally the year Layne dreamed of when he was the fastest car in all practice runs, the top qualifier and the race winner in the Stock Car Division. The quest to conquer Pikes Peak and take home a Super Stock Car Championship continues.

MICHAEL MELVIN

LUCKY DOG ENDURANCE | PORSCHE

Once he turned 18, Michael started autocross racing in DC. After finding success in autocross racing, he stepped into Skip Barber Racing School with his dream of becoming a race car driver. In every race for a couple of seasons, Michael was a contender for the podium and win. Michael wanted more so he stepped away from the driver’s seat for a couple of years to learn how to build the cars he wanted to race. In that process, he became one of the most awarded students in the history of Nascar Technical Institute and landed a job with the top Nascar team in the country, Hendrick Motorsports. 3 years, 36 Cup wins, and 1 Championship later he moved back to Sportscar Racing with IMSA as a mechanic and won 3 more championships at the pro level! Michael’s love of driving never went away, but now he knows the cars from the inside out. He can build them, he can tune them, and he can drive them to their limit with consistency because of it. The plan has changed a lot over the years but the goal has always remained the same. Race to win. All these years later, his sights are still set on racing at the pro level at the Daytona 24hr.
