Owner Bio: Dan Albright
Dan Albright, a 36-year-old automotive technician for the Maryland State Police, has been racing for 20 years. He bought his '80 LeMans wagon in 2001 from his wife's great aunt because "its mileage was extremely low and I wanted something different." It's special to him because, "I've won a lot of races with this car and everybody knows my wagon," he said. His favorite moment in it is "beating the GeeTo Tiger at VMP and winning Tin Indian Stock Class at the Ames Performance Pontiac Tri-Power Nationals, both in 2006." Besides his go-fast grocery getter, Dan also owns a '66 GTO, an '06 Grand Prix, and '96 and '97 Bonnevilles.
