The 21-year-old Auburn student already has some success behind the wheel, picking up Late Model Rookie of the Year honors at Senoia Speedway in Georgia, as well as the 2001 Legends Cars rookie award. This year, Mitchell ran a limited schedule on the ASA National Tour. Next season, look for Mitchell as he debuts on the NASCAR Busch Series at select races.
During Mitchell’s tenure at Auburn University, the Tallahassee, Fla., driver has competed in super late models, limited late models and the American Speed Association. Mitchell plans to graduate from Auburn in the spring of 2006 and hopes to compete full time in the NASCAR Busch Series.
Mitchell has won nearly 100 Legends Car feature events in only three years of competition including the Legends Cars World Championship in 2001. He was also the late model rookie of the year at Senoia Speedway with seven wins in his rookie season and has accumulated over fifteen feature wins while running a limited schedule in the past three years.
There are even die-cast replica collectibles of Mitchell’s No. 34 Auburn University 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo available from Action Performance, the leader in licensed motorsports merchandise. How many KA undergrads can say that about their car?
