Michael Myers

Back to the Dirt / Rally Racing

Michael's always scanning for what's next: new disciplines, new platforms, new programs that sharpen the craft. Rally racing is one of the active threads, a natural fit with the off-road origin and formula-grade road craft layered on top. The door stays open for testing opportunities, partnership programs, single-event drives, anything that puts the helmet on.

WRL Endurance / Chillout Systems

After three seasons of open-wheel, Michael shifted to World Racing League endurance racing with Chillout Systems. New format, new rhythm: long-format racing, multi-driver stints, full-bodied cars, race strategy under heat and fatigue. Different discipline, same intensity.

Road to Indy USF2000

Three seasons on the Road to Indy ladder. 2019: rookie campaign in USF2000 with Legacy Autosport, first taste of the same iconic circuits IndyCar ran. 2020: year two in USF2000, continuing to build with Legacy. 2021: final ladder year as a privateer under his own banner, Michael Myers Racing.

A family operation, top to bottom. His father, Mike Myers, ran the team as crew chief, on the wrench every weekend. Michael drove, coordinated logistics, and raised the capital that kept the program on grid. Up against fully-funded factory-backed teams. Most drivers at this level didn't run their own program. They did.

RTI Lucas Oil Championship

Michael's first full season on the road side of motorsports. He opened the year by winning the 2019 Lucas Oil Winter Series championship across six races. His first taste of road racing, and it had him hooked. He immediately rolled into the eighteen-race Lucas Oil Championship Series, where the title fight came down to the final race at Sebring. He finished second in the championship by four points. The result launched him straight onto the Road to Indy ladder.

Lucas Oil School of Racing

After extensive simulator training with Kelly Jones at RaceCraft1 and Darren Manning at iAdvance Motorsports, Michael stepped into a real formula car for the first time at Lucas Oil School of Racing. His first school was in October 2018 at Sebring International Raceway. The feedback came back positive. He decided to compete in the upcoming championships and properly evaluate the work.

Off-Road to Road Transition

Chasing the 2016 Grand National Cross Country championship, Michael suffered a broken femur in a racing accident involving a tree. The recovery sparked a lot of off time. Six months on the couch became a reset, and his interest in road racing took hold. In 2017 he was fully recovered and competed in more off-road races, but the love was gone.

With his father, Mike Myers, he found Kelly Jones at RaceCraft1 and started simulator training. His parents backed the pivot fully, even though it meant walking away from a decade of work in the dirt and starting over in a discipline none of them had ever raced. Kelly pointed him toward the Lucas Oil School of Racing. Everything started there.

Off-Road Racing Career

Michael always loved speed and competition. At six, he got his first ATV and rode it around the yard. He played traditional sports, baseball and football, until his father, Mike Myers, introduced him to off-road ATV racing. His first race in 2010 ended with a totaled ATV and zero injuries. He was back racing within weeks.

The Myers family was first-generation in motorsports. No inherited program. No playbook. His dad ran the wrench and built the bikes. His mom, Melissa, was at every single race, arguably his number one fan, and a massive support to both him and his father through every weekend of the campaign. They built it from zero, together. That same support carried every chapter that followed.

Through the years that followed, Michael racked up multiple local and national championships, racing every single weekend on his way to the pinnacle of the sport.

Born in Indiana. The motor found him early.
