Adam Williams was born on December 2, 1991 in Renselaer, Indiana. His dad Keith and mother Sharon along with two older brothers, Brandon and James are very supportive of his racing and you will find them at the race track every night that Adam is racing.

Adam originally did some go-kart racing, mainly just for fun. In 2006 he started racing the family Barefoot Mini-Stock and while he didn't win any races he finished 5th in the yearly points standing at Shadyhill. In 2007 he continued racing in the Barefoot Division and finally won his first race. While it was a heat race he had consistently good finishes and he finished 4th in the points standing.

In 2008, Adam moved up to the Pure Street Division. He took off in a very impressive way by winning the first race he was in, again it was a heat race. This was the start of a very good year where he won three features on his way to winning the Shadyhill Track Championship in his rookie year in the division.

For the 2009 racing season he again drove the family Pure Street and after numerous heat race wins and three feature wins he collected his 2nd consecutive Pure Street Track Championship at Shadyhill.

On June 27th, Adam accepted an invitation to become the driver of the yellow & white #14 R & D I-MOD. This would be a big challenge for Adam since the I-MOD is a much different race car than what he has driven in his young racing career. He proved to be a quick learner and he ended the year with five heat race wins along with two feature wins.

This racing would gain him an 11th place finish in the Shadyhill points standing and a ninth place finish in the Kankakee points race. By winning heats and a feature at both tracks proves that he had made great progress in the I-MOD Division during his half season in the car.

When the points tabulation earned him an 8th place finish in the I-MOD Assn. yearly points standing, at the banquet he received the recognition for being the 2009 I-MOD 'Rookie of the Year'. A great accomplishment by a young driver who just celebrated his 18th birthday back in December.

Adam names Tony Stewart as his favorite professional driver. He is a senior at KV High School and is maintaining a near straight 'A' grade average. He plans on continuing his education next fall, which will be told about in an addition to this at that time. Adam works at McDonalds in Demotte and is in a management training program for the hamburger giant.

2010 proved to be an exciting chapter in Adam's life. He graduated from KV High School and got enrolled at Purdue-North Central. His racing career continued to progress in a very positive way. Driving the R & D Racing I-MOD for his first full year on the team he made giant strides to becoming one of the best drivers in the division.

Racing every Saturday night at Shadyhill earned him a 4th place finish in the yearly points standings. He was able to win numerous heat races and finally captured his first feature win of the year on the last night of competition. This fact doesn't take away the thought that he was very competitive every night but racing in a tough and competitive division like the I-MODs, wins just don't come easy.

His racing at Kankakee turned out much more favorable. Winning numerous heat races and four features during the year allowed him to become the I-MOD Track Champion. This would be the third year in a row that Adam had won a track championship.

The I-MODs were invited to make their first appearance at the Kokomo Speedway which finalized the 2010 racing season. The weekend of racing for numerous divisions was called the 'Kokomo Klash' and was held in the middle of October. Adam had been on a hot streak and he continued his dominance when he got to Kokomo. He won the first heat race, which was of course the first I-MOD race held at the track. Later in the evening he led all 25 laps of the feature which gave him a six feature win season.

With the six feature wins to go along with nine heat race wins this gave Adam enough points to be the 2nd place finisher in the I-MOD Assn. points standings. He was one of three drivers who had competed in all 26 race nights the I-MODs raced. Winning the championship at Kankakee and the Kokomo Klash proved to be two big jewels for his 2010 racing season.

At the I-MOD Assn. banquet, while receiving his trophy and jacket he announced that he planned to return to the seat of the R & D Racing I-MOD for 2011. This made car owners Rich & Deb very happy. During the off season he also picked up a ride in the B & S Racecar Fabrication house Modified owned by Bernie Schubert.

If you haven't met Adam yet, stop by and say hello to him! We will continue this story after the 2011 race season has finished........
