Rich Littlefield was born to race, at age 7 he drove a home made go cart for the first time, today he is challenging the modified race circuit with over 600 horse power and a shear determination to win. The story begins in North Buffalo, where at age 7 Richard walks into Joe Vizzi's Gulf station on the corner of Kenmore  and Starin Avenues.   From that moment on his love of cars was perfectly matched with an incredible desire for competition, and a will to win.  His overwhelming sense of competition certainly was fueled from an early age where ice hockey became his favorite pastime. Hockey and Richard grew up together in Buffalo, where the Sabres had a strong influence on the spread of youth hockey. From the age of 7 he was a standout Goaltender with the Buffalo Regals, and by the age of 14 Richard was the most sought after Goaltender in Western New York. As a freshman at St. Joe's Collegiate Institute, Richard was the starting defenseman on the Varsity team, and played many games as the goalie. To this day he will skate circles around most in the over aged 30 leagues where he continues to play recreational hockey.  But enough about his sports accomplishments, did I mention he was recruited to play linebacker for a Division II college in Iowa? 

Richards love of cars and his competitive nature has translated into business success.  He currently owns and operates one of the most successful franchised Collision shops in all of the United States and Canada.  For 6 years straight, his company has received the highest rating for "Customer Satisfaction" of the more than 250 shops from across North America.  By continuously maintaining a 4.85 or better rating (tops is 5.00), Classic Carstar Collision has accumulated 18 awards for excellence. These accomplishments are not by accident, but rather very telling of Richards desire to be a winner. By continuously putting forth the extra effort, and always leaving the customer totally satisfied, Richard has built his business on this tried and true foundation.

In the 15 years that Rich Littlefield has raced, he has managed to always finish in the top 5 with accumulated points.  The modified circuit that Richard competes in, attracts top drivers from the States of Michigan to Maine and North Carolina.  With each race attracting 5,000-7,000 fans on a typical Saturday night, the competition is fierce. We look for a great racing season this year and expect many wins from car number 1.
