TRACK SHAKER TEAM
Scott Hartman
Founder
2000 Chevrolet Corvette FRC
Scott Hartman is the founder and owner of Track Shaker LLC. Soon after Scott purchased his Dodge Challenger he started driving it on track, beginning with drag racing, followed soon thereafter with track days, and most recently autocross. Scott has run on road courses throughout the Eastern United States and continues to drag race and autocross in North and South Carolina. Known as “The Track Guy” in his local Charlotte-based car club, Scott is frequently asked by drivers locally and online how they can get their car on track for the first time. Having seen the abundance of confusion that want-to-be track drivers experience trying to get started and seeing the need for a comprehensive and straightforward resource to help enthusiasts to drive their cars on track, Scott created Track Shaker. He continues to expand Track Shaker, seeking to make it the ultimate one-stop resource for track enthusiasts. Scott has led major videography, event management and motorsports consulting projects, to find out more about Scott’s services visit hartmanautosports.com

Craig Keys
Community Leader
2020 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE
Craig Keys is the Track Shaker Community Leader and co-moderator of the Track Shaker Road Racing group. Being in love with automobiles his entire life, this 31 year old engineer indoctrinated himself into the world of motorsports and it’s associated automotive obsessions nearly 7 years ago after the purchase of his first Dodge Challenger. Drunk off of the roar of a hemi, he has spent most of his time behind the wheel of Challengers and most recently his Widebody Hellcat. While always a Mopar guy at heart, he’s rearranged his garage and added a ZL1 1LE. He’s spent time at 8 different tracks across the USA, his favorite of which being Road Atlanta. Fun fact, Craig and his wife got married at VIR! Keys has been an advocate for pushing the Mopar community to break out of the straight line niche, develop themselves as drivers and expand the capabilities of the platform. Having built a lifetime of memories and joy around the automotive hobby, it’s safe to say Craig is here to stay! You can keep up to date with Craig and follow him on instagram @ckeysvt.
