Randy Seals, a
native of middle Tennessee, joined BHR shortly over one year ago, and from
that moment, he has become one of the go-to guys in the organization.
During this time, Seals made the move from engineer to truck chief and
then to crew chief at one of the most high profile organization’s in the
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Seals’s racing career began in middle Tennessee, at the age of 16, when he began racing go-karts around the area. It did not take long for the racing bug to bite him, and from that time on, his focus was to make a name for himself in the motorsports community. While finishing high school and attending college, Seals worked on Dirt Late Models in the Tennessee area. After graduating from Tennessee Technological University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering, he honed his racing and chassis skills at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville, Tennessee. This proved to be an excellent training ground where Seals was a valuable part of two Late Model championships in 1996 and 1997 with the late, Andy Kirby. During this time, he caught the eye of LAR Motorsports, and at the end of the 1998 season, he accepted an engineering position with the team. Seals stayed with LAR for most of the 1999 and 2000 seasons, while also taking on the crew chief position for Mike Harmon in the ARCA (Auto Racing Club of America) Series. In 2001, Seals made the move to Baker Racing where he served as Brad Baker’s crew chief in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series. This is where he first gained Bobby Hamilton’s attention. When Baker Racing fell on hard times due to lack of sponsorship, Seals was offered the truck chief position on the No. 4 Bobby Hamilton Racing Team. He accepted and maintained that position until mid-2002, when he assumed the crew chief position for the No. 4 team. Over the 2002 off-season, Seals was offered the crew chief position at the No. 18 Dickies Dodge with driver, Chad Chaffin. Seals accepted that position and stayed there until he moved over to the No. 8 BHR team that Bill Lester drives for after seven races of 2003 season. The move came as a result of Seals’ past talents with relatively new drivers and what the organization deemed a solid restructuring. |
