It goes without saying that the sprint car industry is constantly evolving and ever-changing. Customers often
measure a company in two different ways. The first is by the products that are offered, and the second is by the
service. Eagle Motorsports has excelled at both since the beginning. Here at Eagle, the goal is to exceed the
customer’s expectations with emphasis on QUALITY. Our technical support combined with our on going
commitment to product safety sets us apart from the others. Product research and development focused on
your current and future requirements will continue to position Eagle Motorsports at the forefront of the sprint
car industry.
Jerry Russell is "old school." From 1973 to 1989, Jerry raced a wide variety of cars all over the country…wing &
non-wing sprints, midgets, silver crown, and even stock cars. Not only did he race these cars, he built the cars
he raced. In October of ’97 the first Eagle Motorsports came off the jig. Eagle Chassis had proven itself and
won the Knoxville Nationals…the most prestigious race in sprint car racing…in 1998, in only 10 months. Eagle
Motorsports has captured the Knoxville Nationals 3 times since. Since it’s inception, nine years ago, Eagle
Motorsports has claimed the All-Star Championship and the Knoxville Raceway Track Championship every
year. 2001 was stellar year for Eagle; claiming all the big shows at Knoxville…the Nationals, the 360 Nationals,
1200# Nationals, and yet another track championship. In 2002, Eagle became the World Track Record holder on
the 1-mile track at Pikes Peak.
Jerry had a vision, he pursued it, and he’s still living it today, with high standards for quality and safety. He
hasn’t forgotten his background. From his first back yard built, stick-welded car he and his father put together
in ‘73, to manufacturing cars for drivers such as Steve Kinser, Terry McCarl, and Brook Tatnell, to drivers such
as Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne, and Tony Stewart, to having dealers nationwide and in Australia.
And in 2009 Jerry teamed up with Bill Mann (Owner of Performance Wholesale and Queensland Speedway
Spares). Bill will be at the reins of Eagle Motorsports Inc. and his job is to concentrate on the actual day to day
running of the company, marketing, making sure product is available, delivered on time and the further
expansion into the circle track markets.
Jerry will now be able to concentrate on R & D, future product design, the building of cars and to further
expand into the 600 mini sprint market. Jerry will also be available to give technical advice on which he excels.
