Joe Lusk started from nothing. This is not a name sprung from a legacy of family. This is a story of humble beginnings, and blazing trails.

Joe was born in Hackensack, New Jersey, but he grew up in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania.

In 2001, at the age of three, Joe received a go-kart as a Christmas gift. His quick adaptation and control at such an early age prompted his parents to invest in a racing go-kart, putting these skills to the test.

Racing turned into Lusk’s future, quickly consuming his life. Over a hundred local karting wins later, Joe moved from a kart to a micro sprint car.

Always showing an innate ability to quickly learn the next car, Joe built on his success in karts, amassing a multitude of micro sprint car wins. At 15, he then moved to dirt pro-stock. Joe won his first race in a stock car on night one, setting up for three more rookie season wins. A year later he won half the races he competed in, en-route to a track championship.

Joe then moved to a dirt late model. Many were surprised at how quickly he learned not only how to drive the car, but also how to be quick in it. Joe won his first heat race and set up a solid two years of consistent performance, with many podium finishes.

Currently, Joe is keeping up high marks at Pennsylvania College of Technology, majoring in web design and interactive media. Joe also works in technology support at Jersey Shore Area School District.
