Over time everything you need to know about these guys will be here in these pages...

Dane Moore

Dane Moore Every team has at least one person like Dane.  He's the kind of guy that judges how much work he's done by how much dirt he wears.  From crawling over, under and poking through the side, this man gets his hands where they're needed to do what it takes to get it done.  Being with Randy for about 10 years Dane has become a "Jack Of All Trades" with the cars but tends to spend more time on the body work and the set-up.  Not only does he play the role of Crew Chief at the track, but you can often find him at the garage during the week working on the car too.

Dane has a wife Jackie, who most would say is Randy's biggest fan, and a son Dillion.  Jackie is a huge support for the team by letting Dane do what he does, she's also been seen, on a few occations, doing some cleaning on the car.  Her biggest role is letting Dane spend the time he needs to on the car.  Dillion can also be found helping out at the track now and then.

Dane is a highly focused, highly motivated man that loves racing and what he does for the race team.  The organizational skills he brings to the team are what's needed to keep the pit area running like clockwork.

Mike Richardson

Mike RichardsonMike, the quiet one.  But don't be fooled by how mellow he may seem on the outside.  On the inside this man has as much desire to get his driver to the front of the pack as anyone.   Over the 12 years Mike has been teamed up with Randy he has become something of the suspension guy.  Shocks and spring work have there ups and downs but Mike remains steady through it all.  Over the years he has learned the inner working of the cars and by being a good listener he's picked up on what other winners do and applied that to Randy's set-up.  During the race season you'll find him over at the garage once or twice a week (whatever is needed) getting the car ready for the next event.

Mike is able to do this because his family provides him with the flexibility to persue his passion, and he's found the balance .

Larry Burrows

Larry BurrowsThis is the man that stood beside and behind the man that drives your Alive 95 race car.  Meet Larry, Randy's Dad.

This is the man that supported Randy through the worst of times and the best of times.  He has never told him what to do, but simply listened to everything that needed to be said until the answer became pretty obvious.

Larry has been described as the man that keeps the team and the driver grounded.  He's there to have fun and what kind of fun can he have if everyone else on the team is stressed.  In his own very quiet way he is the "keeper" of the team.  Reminding them at the right time what's important.

As if that were not enough, the Insurance Agency he is partners with also helps sponsor the race team.  You can't go wrong if your with the "Good Hands" folks of Allstate and those hands help the car on the track.

Jerry Holland

Jerry HollandRace fan from the word go.  Not only did his Dad race, but he raced and so does his son Trey.  Now Jerry's hooked up with a winner.  Randy and Jerry are great friends and Jerry is the ultimate gofer at the track.  He'll hook up with either Dane or Mike and whatever they're working on gets done quicker because of his help.

With his racing background he has been an awesome asset to the team.  He's there to bounce ideas off of when it comes to how the track is and to how the car is on the track.  Then the team works together to get the car right.

Thanks to Kim, Jerry's wife, Jerry is able to get to the track and "Get 'er Done", with the rest of the team.  Jerry's son Trey will also get his hands in there when needed to.  Trey has become a driver himself and is learning from the best.  To his advantage, he gets to work with a great team, that are all great individuals and best of all they all work very well together.  Look out for this young and rising star in the years to come.

Gary Harris

Gary HarrisMeet Mr. Harris.  You can't have a nicest guy on the team competition because everyone will tie, but here is the one guy that might edge out when it comes to consistant and steady.  Ask him to drive, he'll get you there.  Ask him to syph tires and you'll get them syphed.  Ask him to do anything and then just simply expect it done.  That is what you can expect from Gary.

Yet there is so much more.  Gary will get there before the sun rises and will stay there until long after the sun sets.  He's always got a smile on his face and is ready to share a story to get you a smile too!  He's been with Randy for quite some time now and loves his place with the team.

Jeff Ezell

Jeff EzellEver wonder where the Ezell in Burrows/Ezell Motorsports came from?  Here he is.  This is Jeff.  He's the one that financed Randy in the early years.  He's laughed with Randy and cried with Randy over the years.  The two of them have felt every emotion that a race team can feel, from thinking they won a Championship in 2001, to finding that they were actually a few points shy and had to take second place.  Not only has been there through the thick and thin of things but he's in the pits nearly every race weekend too!  He's the last gofer mentioned here, but that doesn't mean he doesn't gofer any less than the others.  He, like everyone else, will do whatever it takes make Randy happy in the car.  He knows that a happy driver is a driver that can overcome any obsticles to get to the front and he's been watching Randy do that for years.

Jeff's wife, Amanda has given him the ability to be all he can be.  He has provided for the house for years and she provided him with the time he wanted to persue his passion of being a part of a race team.  She has most recently provided him a little girl and another set of twin girls on the way.
