Witchkraft Racing History

Witchkraft Racing originated in 1994 with Joe Kraft, Mike Merrill, Chuck Seilnacht, Kevin Patmore, along with Wes and Jan Swain. During that time, the entire team had received numerous accolades, both at the amateur and expert ranks. The team was rooted back in the old Great Lakes Roadracing Association (GLRRA) days and stemmed from friendships that were made during that time. Kevin Patmore helped establish the team's identity, which is still represented today in the Witchkraft name.

As the team continued to race, additions to the core group included Bob Watson and Eddie Kraft, who added to the team's accomplished list of race wins and championships. Chad Tefft and Aaron Bagwell also became close friends and quickly joined the team as well - further contributing to the list of notable accomplishments.

Fast forward several years, and while most of the original members have hung up their leathers, the original foundation of comraderie and winning exist more than ever.

Today the Witchkraft team remains strong and will be chasing wins at the WERA level and strong finishes at the AMA this season.
