Even though it may sound cliché, Mike has been a winner on and off the track.
In his past Mike has build up several companies including one national brand of protective chemicals for the outdoor market which he sold to a Fortune 500, $24 Billion Company in 2005.
For several years his businesses made the INC. 500 list of the fasted growing privately held companies. This drive to success and competitiveness also carries over to his racing. Over the years, he often worn a lab coat or business suit one day and a racing suit the next.
