Mark Utecht

Mark Utecht’s journey into motorsports began in Minnesota, where he worked next to a racetrack. One day, he heard the distinctive sound of cars participating in an autocross event. Captivated by the excitement, Mark decided to take the afternoon off work. He borrowed his girlfriend’s Dodge Omni and entered his very first autocross, marking the start of his involvement in competitive driving.

Several years after his initial autocross experience, Mark attended a beer party. During the event, someone encouraged him, saying, “you need to be rallying.” This advice sparked Mark’s interest in rally and set him on a new path within the motorsports community.
