"THE REST OF THE STORY"
Barnum Motorsports was started in 1990 in Ohio when Jamie Barnum was nine years old by his father, Jim Barnum. Many years were spent running their red #17 quarter midget throughout the midwest as members of the NWOQMRA which is based in Toledo, Ohio. After nearly a thirteen year hiatus, and a move to Florida, Jim brought back Barnum Motorsports in 2008. Jamie, joined by his brother Ray Smith began racing their familiar car #17, this time a TQ midget, in the Florida Midget Auto Racing Association (http://www.fltqmidgets.com). The only midget racing association active in Florida, most of the races are held at the Charlotte County Motorsports Park (http://www.charlottecountyracing.com) in Punta Gorda, FL. In their first season, Jamie finished fifth in the overall points and won the "2008 Rookie of the Year" award. In 2009 they became a two car team woth Jamie running the #7 and Ray becoming the driver of the #17. The season which ended in October, saw Jamie finishing runner-up in the points battle to New Jersey great and "Hall of Fame" member "The Legend" Jack Duffy. An outstanding rookie season enabled Ray to finish 3rd in the points behind Jamie and become the 2009 "Rookie of the Year". Also in 2009, Jim added "caretaking" duties for the #5 car owned by his "Brother in Law" Keith Sawyer of Champion, Ohio. Known as Sawyer-Barnum Racing, the car is driven by veteran sprint car driver Geoff Styner, of Cape Coral, FL. Missing several weeks of the season due to an engine change, the #5 still finished a respectable 7th place in the final point standings. Pit support comes from our crew of Stephanie Barnum, Jamie's wife, Ray's daughter McKenzie Smith, who in 2011 will make her debut in quarter midget racing, and Jacob "No Mistake Jake" Barnum, Jamie and Stephanie's son who will follow McKenzie into quarter midgets in 2012. And now welcome to our newest team member, Madison Barnum, born on May 7, 2010. A very special "THANK YOU" goes out to Jim's wife Joanne, who not only is there every week for pit support but also allows Jim to spend the money! And to Jim's neighbor Bob Kus, Thanks, for being Barnum Motorsports number one supporter and fan!
