About the Team : Walker Motorsports began in 1998 in go-karts with brothers Brian and Eric Walker. Over the 8 year span, the two brothers captured over 50 feature wins, with Eric claiming 41 of them. In 2006, Eric's first full season of street stock racing, he battled his way to 3 heat wins and won his first feature in just his sixth feature start. He was asked to drive John Sundy's super sportsman in the middle of the '06 season. Eric raced both the family owned street stock and Sundy's sportsman for the remainder of the season. Eric also captured the Clean Technologies Young Guns Series championship. The '07 season saw Eric win 2 street stock features and again winning (tied) the Clean Technologies Young Guns championship. In the team's third year of street stock racing (2008), they battled to 4 feature wins, their 3rd consecutive Clean Technologies Young Guns championship, and their first ever street stock point championship at Susquehanna Speedway.
