NAME: Cathy McClintock

HOMETOWN: Onalaska, WI

RACE TEAM: The Fatlawns.Com Mid-American Race Team #4 "Racin' with an Attitude...to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities"!

TEAM POSITION: Wife, Race Team Spotter, and Sponsor.

YEARS INVOLVED IN RACING: 14 Fabulous Years.

HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN RACING: I’ve always had the interest in cars since I was a kid. My Dad owned a autobody shop and used to take the family to the races on Wednesday nights to the LaCrosse Speedway. It was then I discovered at a young age, my need for speed. So when I met my golfer husband Tom, it was exciting to learn that he enjoyed the sport as well. It was then the Race Team was born.

RACEDAY POSITION OR DUTIES: Race team spotter, tire changer, set pressures, record stats lap times etc.. what ever is needed. I wear many hats and am not afraid of physical work or getting my hands dirty.

FARORITE EXPERIENCE: Winning the Milwaukee Mile when we raced with the USST Truck Series in 2007. We had been chasing a power steering problem the entire day and didn’t really get the opportunity to run many hot laps. Nearly missed qualifying, but got Tom out there just in a nick of time, and he managed to set fast time that day as well. All all the scrambling around and trouble shooting paid off. What a SWEET WIN!!

WORST EXPERIENCE: Leaving the racetrack with an empty trailer because your racecar is on the flatbed truck that's following you to your race shop. Years ago...This was the end result of an super bad race night at the La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway.

HOBBIES: Besides Racing, I enjoy spending free time with my husband, Tom, the kids, my parents and my Cat. I also enjoy Golfing, Bowling, Video Poker, and watching the Greenbay Packers & Badgers Too.

PETS: We have a cute little long haired kittycat named Bilstein (Billie for short). She will be 13 years young on December 5th.

CAREER: I work for a larger construction company; TCI Architects/Engineers/Contractor, Inc. as a Contract Administrator. I have been with the company for nearly 13 years.
