Chairman of the Board, Founder & President: 
Michael Evock, CW3, US Army Special Forces (ret.)

Chief Warrant Officer Mike Evock is a combat veteran who has been involved with the Special Forces community for over sixteen years. His career in the military began in 1988 when he enlisted into the 82nd Airborne Division of the Army. It would be only four short years after joining the Army and having experienced combat situations, that Mike shifted to the Special Forces as an 18B Weapons Sergeant. His exceptional skills were essential to the success of the division during training and combat missions. From 1994-2009, Mike Evock trained, instructed, commanded and executed various missions as a Green Beret both in the United States and abroad. During this time, Mike achieved his Warrant Officer ranking which put him in command of several small and large unit operations. He has been intimately involved with sensitive combat missions, crisis response teams, counter terrorism missions and more, and continues to instruct and perform important missions in the civilian world today.
Throughout his career as a soldier Mike Evock experienced a slew of highly intensive missions, and faced certain death on more than thirteen different occasions which included a helicopter crash and multiple IED explosions. He has suffered more than 50 "significant" injuries, of which several were life threatening, yet he survived them all. The aftermath of the these events and experiences has resulted in his battle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), physical aches and pains and he lives in a constant state of heightened awareness. Despite all of these ailments, Mike Evock relies on his warrior mentality and skills to forge ahead in his civilian life. As most would be led to believe that living with these challenges would break him down into deep darkness, Mike Evock is here today continuing the fight for all disabled Veterans. This “ghost warrior” has come back from the brink to become a champion for Veterans. He uses racing to recreate the solidarity that kept these men and women tightly knit during their active years in the Armed Forces.
Mike Evock began Racing For Heroes in 2009 as a way to give back and support his fellow Special Forces Veterans. Between 2013 and 2015, he made the decision to transform his racing efforts into a charitable organization.  That is when he was able to receive 501c3 exemption letter for the operation of the Racing For Heroes Raceway in Mill Hall, PA. He used this venture as a way to uplift and recognize Veterans in many ways. Uniquely, the entire staff at the track were Veterans who volunteered their time to the cause and to the sport. Mike not only ran and promoted the track, but he was also a participant running the #773 Dirt Late Model as a tribute to all of his fallen Special Forces brothers. Although Racing For Heroes is no longer running this racetrack, Mike has decided to reinvent the cause through another form of racing. His passion for competitive racing continues to inspire him by using the Racing For Heroes organization to support his fellow Veterans. By doing so, it has given these Veterans a place to call home once again. Through motorsports, Mike Evock has found a strength and resilience that he brings to each new day of his life as a survivor and as a true American Hero.
