Vehicle Story

Casey's racing career began when he suited up to race his junior dragster back in 1996. He upgraded to a super comp dragster at the young age of 13. Casey and his father, Ronnie, stumbled across the Funny Car Chaos series while racing their Blown Alcohol Front Engine Dragster, Alley-Oop. Just when they thought they’d fulfilled all their racing dreams with Alley-Oop, Funny Car Chaos introduced them to a series they never imagined becoming a reality. Casey made a "feeler" post in the All Things Chaos group asking if anyone had any leads on a good car for sale. Low and behold, Scott Sagor responded to the post due to his retirement. As soon as the father son duo laid eyes on The Gambler they knew she was going home with them. In April 2023, The Geeslin Family Racing Team debuted The Gambler at Texas Motorplex. They spent their Rookie Season traveling across the United States racing 1/8 mile drag strips. With Casey as the pilot and Ronnie as the crew chief they finished their first season in the #8 spot out of 91 total cars. We cannot wait to see what 2024 has in store for us as!
