Today’s driver spotlight is from Belleville, IL. Please let me introduce, Christopher Scott Cowden.
Christopher Scott Cowden, a 30-year-old racing enthusiast hailing from Belleville, IL, embarked on his racing journey at the age of 27, driven by a lifelong dream to race cars. By day, Christopher assumes the role of an operator lead at Cannon Utility Services, specializing in directional boring for essential utilities such as water lines, power, gas, and phone services. With nearly four years of experience in this field, Christopher’s work ethic and dedication are evident in his commitment to his job.
Looking ahead, Christopher envisions a bright future for himself in the racing world. In five years, he aims to ascend the ranks in racing classes, while his ten-year plan includes owning cars and entrusting them to skilled drivers he can rely on. Beyond the racetrack, Christopher indulges in his talent for billiards, showcasing his skills at Fifth Street Billiards, a place he holds dear as one of his sponsors.
Recently, Christopher and his wife, Allison, received the joyful news that they are expecting their first child. This new chapter in their lives fills them with excitement and anticipation, knowing that they will soon welcome a little one into their family. As they prepare for parenthood, Christopher finds himself inspired to work even harder towards his racing goals, motivated by the desire to provide a bright future for their growing family. The love and support of Allison by his side further fuel Christopher’s determination to succeed both on and off the racetrack, as they eagerly await the arrival of their bundle of joy.
For the upcoming race season, Christopher is set to compete in the street stocks. His primary goal for this season is to secure a top-five position in points at Highland Speedway, all while keeping his options open for potential travel opportunities.
When it comes to inspiration, Christopher attributes much of his drive to his cousin Dillon Foster, a fellow racer whose support and encouragement have played a pivotal role in Christopher’s racing journey. Racing has not only deepened their bond but has also served as a source of joy and fulfillment for Christopher.
As Christopher Cowden continues to chase his racing dreams and inspire others with his message of perseverance and unwavering determination, he stands as a testament to the power of passion and hard work in achieving one’s goals. With his sights set on success both on and off the track, Christopher exemplifies the spirit of never giving up and pursuing one’s dreams with unwavering resolve.
