About Austin Legends

Roger Austin Sr. owner and founder or Austin legends has been a racer himself since the 1970’s. From Dirt bikes, Street Bikes, Drag Racing, Dirt and Asphalt Ovals, and Road Courses, Roger Sr. has proven himself on just about everything. Roger raced Late Model Stocks at the Historic Old Dominion Speedway for Over 20 Years winning races and multiple championships in his own cars, while building cars for friends and customers that would win too! Late Models, Mini Stocks, Street Stocks, Drag cars, Tractor Pullers, Roger Sr. has built it all.

In 1996 Roger got out of late models to give his son the opportunity to race go-karts full time. They climbed threw the go-kart ranks accumulating more than 200 Feature wins from 1996 to 2000, and 8 Championships including a WKA National title in 2000. In 2001 Roger Jr. moved into the Legends Series at ODS and quickly became one of the top running cars with everything done “in garage”. Roger Jr. became the only driver to win at ODS during his rookie season, a record still held today. Roger Sr. was soon overwhelmed with local Legends racers wanting set-ups, tips, and repairs. Roger Sr. later purchased Legends Cars of Northern Virginia and changed the name to Austin Legends.

Since 2003 Austin Legends has been the driving force behind multiple oval track championships, several state championships, hundreds of wins including two road race National wins, dirt national runner-up, and the 2005 Legends World Road Race National Championship with Austin Legends built cars and setups. Austin Legends has established itself as a knowledgeable and successful Legends dealer, promoter, car owner, driver, repair specialist, and setup guru for Asphalt, Dirt, and Road Courses in the Legends Car Series.  Roger Sr. still gets his helmet out of the bag from time to time to race again, so watch out because he’s still fast.
