Craig Mendel

Craig Mendel is one of the two race cars that race for the Armor All team in the Crown Cup Racing Series. Craig is a Sherpa Motors Iota GT that is painted orange and yellow painted on his sides. He has red where his gas tank is and red rims with yellow outlining. He has the Armor All logo on his hood and sides, with the number "12" on his roof and sides.

In Tim's first Crown Cup, Craig is seen racing at Motor Speedway of the South. During the huge accident caused by Andrew Dimock, Craig finds himself face-to-face with Clayton Johnson, and the two exchange nervous laughter, before they are both hit by other cars.

Profiles and Statistics

 * "It's Craig Mendel's dream to become a racing color commentator after he retires. He's watched all the greats, like Darrell Cartrip and Bob Cutlass over the years, and even practices announcing by calling the races out loud to himself while he's in them. It's great experience, though the other drivers find it distracting and a little creepy."
