About Eric
(May, 2022) Eric Blumer is the owner, driver and chief mechanic of the 6E INEX Legend car. He hails from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, home to Angell Park Speedway. With the help of his parents, at the age of 17 he bought his first Legend car. It was late in 2018 and he did not campaign it until the following season. From those beginnings, with the help of many great sponsors to help fund his operation and great friends who have helped wrenching on the car, Eric has built the team into a two car operation. He specializes in dirt track racing.
The idea behind a second car was to have a back up, as he often runs twice a week. That changed in 2022, where the back up "Frankenstein" had been set up for pavement racing. Eric did make his debut on pavement and acquitted himself well, finishing in the top 10 our of 15 cars.
Eric's work ethic help him to be chosen by Griffin McGrath of Cedar Rapids, IA, as one of the trackside reps for Legends Direct. Legends Direct, one of the leading Legends purveyors in the country, offers support on and off the track, providing advice and parts to racers.
In 2022 graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville with a degree in Sales and Marketing.
Career Highlights
(May 2022) Every win is a good win! Winning the Wisconsin Legends Racing Dirt Series championship is a highlight.
Winning an A-Main at Angell Park Speedway, the track I grew up going to as a fan, is the biggest so far!
