Meet the Stars

Motorcycle master Paul Teutul Jr. has been molding metal into shape since the age of 12, when he began his apprenticeship at his father’s steel business. He’s widely recognized as the chief designer and fabricator of some of the world’s most famous motorcycles, as featured in Discovery’s hit television series “American Chopper.”

One of NASCAR’s most well-known and charismatic personalities, Rusty Wallace, Jr. was the 1984 NASCAR Winston Cup Rookie of the Year and the 1989 Winston Cup champion. He  is a member of four of stock car racing’s major halls of fame: the NASCAR Hall of Fame (2013), the International Motorsports Hall of Fame (2013), the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (2014) and the National Motorsports Press Association Hall of Fame (2010).

One of the most famous names in drag racing, Don “The Snake” Prudhomme, will also be in attendance at the lunch. Prudhomme won four consecutive NHRA series titles, won the prestigious U.S. Nationals seven times, was the first Funny Car driver to break the 250-mph mark (250.00 mph), was the first to post an elapsed time under 5.20 seconds (5.193), became the first driver to win seven of eight national events in one season (1976), was the first NHRA Winston World Champion (1975), and became the first driver to win the U.S. Nationals and Winternationals in the same season (1965). At age 51, he became the third Top Fuel driver to pass the 300-mph mark (301.60) in 1993.

Walker “The Legend” Evans is one of the most accomplished competitors in the sport of off-road racing. Throughout his 30-year racing career, he has racked up 142 victories and 21 championship titles to his name, including winning the Baja 1000 nine times, the first in history to win that grueling race overall in a truck. He’s also won races like the Mint 400, the Baja 500, the Parker 400 and the Fireworks 250.

They will also be joining actors Tom Berenger and Zahn McClarnon, stars of HISTORY’s “Counting Cars” Shannon Aikau, Ryan Evans and “Horny” Mike and other Hollywood and moto-industry celebrities for the Buffalo Chip’s Legends Ride® which follows the lunch.
