A native of Parker, Arizona, Randy Merritt began building his first race truck from the frame up, which was a '79 body style, in the early 1990's. By 1993, he entered his first S.C.O.R.E. 400 race in his hometown, Parker. Not surprisingly, Randy and his team won the Parker "400" race five years straight, from 1998-2002. He doesn't just win at home, however. In 2003, Randy took a 1st in Class after a tough competition in the Best in the Desert Baja Mex World Championship 300. Since then, he has placed in the top three Vehicles in Class in 60 percent of the events in which he has participated. In 2004, Ford Motor Company demonstrated their confidence in Mongo Racing by awarding them a new 2004 factory Ford F-150 Stock-Full Truck Engineering Feedback Program. Merritt and the Mongo Racing team proudly stepped up to the challenge. Utilizing the factory stock body, still looking as close to "showroom stock" as possible, Merritt began racing it to show that you can make a full size, stock-production truck into a race-ready vehicle. In spite of the financial struggle, Mongo Racing now holds a long string of finishes and victories, primarily racing in the highly competitive desert stock-truck class. All along the way, Mongo Racing has had the same team members since Randy first started — one of the few teams that can say that. On top of his race accomplishments, Randy has enjoyed considerable successes on and off the course in building his career. He has been married to his wife Tami for over 16 years and has three children ranging from ages almost 16 to toddlerhood. First, there is his fifteen and 3/4-year-old daughter, Chessica, who was cheerleader with Pop Warner turned High School Cheerleader, is now getting ready to be a Junior and learning to drive. His second child is R.J. (Randy Jr.), a now now a teenager and is turning from a VERY successful Quad racer, of four years, into a real racer. He went from Pop Warner football to Junior High Football. Then there is Raelee who just started Full-Time Pre-school. She is now 3 years old and is ALREADY reading and recognizing numbers everywhere she goes. She knows at least 30 songs that her older sister has taught her and is the toughest girl out there, thanks to her older brother.
