Get to Know Your Drivers Philip Ellis #29 Street Stock

When did you get started in racing and what got you interested in racing? 2010. My family raced when I was a kid. I had friends in high school who raced at punta gorda so I was there all the time as a teenager.

Tell us about your racing history and accomplishments? In 2010 I started running 4 cylinders at punta gorda. Came out of the gate running up front right away winning 5 races that year and finishing 2nd in points by a small margin to Dylan bigley. The next season we finishing 5th in points in 4 cylinders and decided it was time to go road warrior racing. So dad and I built a car in his 1 car garage. When it was done it was fast and won in my 4th ever start in the class. We ended up 5th in points after only running half a season. The next year punta gorda closed so as a family we decided it was time to go pro truck racing and do some traveling. The first year didn’t go well for us. It was a learning curve for sure. But the following year we got the truck much better and running up towards the front. Beginning of 2015 we started with the ice breaker at desoto. I finished up front in that race. A week later I broke both my legs and had to take half a season off. Dylan bigley filled in for me and helped get the truck where it needed to be so when I was cleared I came back and ran up front right away. We finished out the 2015 season and sold the truck. I had some more surgery on the legs from being broken and took some time off. In 2017 my dad and I decided it was time for a return. So we built a bomber for 4-17. We had many good finishing just never pulled off a win. We finishing 2nd in points in both the bomber 6 pack series and regular season points in 2018. We took all of 2019 off to build our new car. Came out in 2020 and ran a few races at punta gorda before deciding it was time for a change of scenery and we decided to go dirt racing. On the dirt it has been a challenge and I’m still learning but we are making big strides setup and handling wise and hope to be running up front soon.

What is your greatest racing accomplishment? My win in 2012 in the road warrior class at punta gorda. It was only my 4th start against a group of guys who had a lot more experience than I did.

Who is or was your racing idol? Ernie Irvan

What is your favorite track and what is your dream track to race? Favorite track I’ve raced at so far would be citrus. On the dirt side I enjoy hendry county. Dream track to race at I would say Hudson speedway in New Hampshire where my family ran when I was a kid.

What is your favorite past time other than racing? I enjoy fishing, video games, and hanging out with my family.

What is your favorite Sports team? Boston Red Sox

What is your favorite racing related movie and non-racing related movie? Stroker ace racing related. Non racing related I would have to say the big Lebowski

What is your favorite Street car and why? 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. I’ve always liked them. Michelle and I have a goal to get one and restore it once the kids are old enough to move out.

Who is your race care crew members? My wife and kids, my parents, and my cousin Ian are the ones who help me get to the track every race. At the track there is way to many people who help out.

Who are your Sponsors? Southwest Florida pool pros, m&m automotive, backhaul Mcfall, butler speed and supply, speedracer photos and ignite graffix

Who is your biggest rival on the track? Since day one the person who I always raced hard against and put up the biggest fight was Dylan Bigley. For the first year I raced him and I were usually not far from each other on track or in the pits.

If you had unlimited funds and could start a Nascar team besides yourself who is a fellow racer you would take to be your teammate? That’s a tough one. There is so much raw talent in our sport and most of which don’t get the recognition of making it to the big time. But the 2 names that come to mind are 2 young guys who have always had a huge heart and drive for racing. No matter how good or bad they did they kept fighting and pushing on. Both of them had minimal success but are still in the sport racing. That would be Johnny Marra and Skylar null.

Get to know your Promoters Candice Kealy from Dirt’s 4 Racing

When did you get started in racing and what got you interested in racing? I worked at Daytona For a bit then my husband at the time worked at Vsp and Tonya gave me a chance on dirt. My Dad was a classic car fan. So racing was new. My first race car was a Ford probe gladiator. Then Lenny parked me at BRP in a OWM my first race for no reason and I said never again. I drove that owm at Hendry next with amazing support from Ken Kenny, John Wilson & family, Joe Brinson, Robby Lilly, wayne Conlley, my son, and Billy Evens. Then I made a goal to drive one of every class so I could never be told I could not again.

What made you start in racing promoting or working at a track? After falling in love with the sport and fans at vsp and I wanted to help. I got a chance and never stopped. I just wanted to make it better and make these families who brought me so much joy happy.

What had been your favorite race to promote or work? The North race at vsp and The Mills open at BRP are my favorite but the biggest honor has been to earn the respect of my drivers. I got to honor their families. The Gary Gay, The Morgan, and The One more for Turbo mean more than I have words. I have had fun with the Whynott crew as our racecation the last 8 year as well. Who is or was your racing idol? I would have to say I have a few. Ken Corbin has been an amazing support and a wealth of knowledge. Joe Dirt, Shelly Doyel, Shelly Minchew have been with me since day one and taught me so much! Al Vanadorn, Phil & Liz, Billy & Lori were always a call or text away! Ken Kenny was the first to make we go WOW! I loved the show he brought and the event fell. The way he treated his drivers. Bubba, Tom & Ken for having faith in me and giving me more opportunities than I deserve to reach my dreams and goals! I have learned so much from them all. The fans and drivers who took the time to help me. The talks or suggestions. Letting me be part of the family they all already loved. Why do you feel it is important to promote a track, a series or work at a track? Promotion brings the people together. You have to have a balance. You need the fans, drivers, and crews! You can’t just focus on the fans or just the back gate. You end up losing part of the show. Promoting takes Racing’s from just a race to an event. It’s important for people who love the sport to work at the track as they make the tracks!

What is your favorite past time other than racing? Enjoying my Kids and some I have collected along the way. Hunting and fishing! What is your favorite Sports team? Red Sox, Bruins, Pats, and I love a good local baseball game too.

What is your favorite racing related movie and non-racing related movie? Six pack and ET

What is your favorite Street car and why? I love the classics! Turkey Rod Run is my favorite! When cars were Dependable & original. People could work on them themselves and they are just beautiful. If you could put on any race at your track or series what would it be any why? I love the run what ya brung races & The suitcase race. The fans race, power wheels, and charity races are good ones. They are fun, get everyone involved, you don’t see them every week, I love combining fun and giving back!

Any Series or track Sponsors? Daytona Sportswear, Sunoco & Big Frog have been with me since day one! I am beyond grateful! Hoosier was not far behind them. AR Bodies was the first year with street stock series and the last few locals have pushed me on like John Allen Allen’s Pluming, Sign Print Billy Howard, Tod Morgan Morgan’s speed shop Dustin Carter and Travis Stats Action Graphix, Going Butts Bbq, Peterson Lawn service, Yates Motorsports, Monzi Motors, BBR chassis, and Ronnie Bennett.

What would race fans find interesting or not know about you? I have no family in racing but the one I was welcomed in too! I was past military.
