If you know Craig Coker, you know he is serious - serious about having fun. I met Craig and his family at a Tesla Corsa Track Day event a couple of years ago and even during his first few track events, it was clear this wasn't just a hobby to him, he wanted to make this his career. Since then, watched Craig rise through the Tesla Corsa amateur racing ranks and now he's starting to capture several lap records. He's making a name for himself as an up-and-coming star in the EV and Motorsport communities and landing sponsors along the way. When called upon after a crash during practice at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb 2020 Craig switched gears entirely and helped rebuild the Unplugged Performance car to ensure Randy Pobst made it safely to the top of the mountain. Craig is just an all-around great guy with a fierce competitive spirit and a dream; we are lucky to call him a friend. We sat down with Craig last week to talk about his experience racing EVs, revisit our time at Pikes Peak last year, and discuss his ambitions for setting some more lap records later this year.
Thanks to Craig for sharing your experience with Electric Vehicles in motorsports.
