Todd Knight is a 34 year old thunder bomber racer from Irmo. This will be he second year racing. He runs the number 47 because it is a combination of dates: the 4 from his and his wife's birthdays ( 14th and 24th) and the 7 from his daughters' birthdays (17th and 27th). He grew up at Sumter Speedway; from 2 years old Todd would be asleep in the bleachers by feature time and then he began helping a friend with his late model. As a show of appreciation, his friends bought him his first car, which he raced last year. He doesn't have any racing heroes but he enjoys pulling for several of the national touring guys, Brandon Overton, Tim Mcreadie, Tyler Erb to name a few. His most memorable racing moment was pulling off a 3rd place finish in the point championship during his rookie season. When handed a loss, Todd just jumps back in the shop and works to find more speed. He will also consult fellow competitors who are willing to help and share information t help him become a better racer all around; including setup and driving techniques. His family and friends push him to continue racing, especially is youngest daughter who LOVES being at the racetrack every week. His dad also keeps him motivated to race because they get to spend countless hours together in the shop, at the track and of course, celebrating the small victories and successes that have gone his way. Todd has two big racing superstitions: no green on race day and no peanuts in the pits. His favorite classes to watch are street stocks and super troopers.
We asked Todd if he was cheating and he replied "Heck, I ain't got enough money to cheat!" His favorite racing to watch includes good, clean close racing with sliders being through back and forth and 2, 3 4 and more wide racing. Outside of racing, Todd if a carpenter/general maintenance man and in his free time, he enjoys going to concerts, hunting and fishing. Todd's advice for the future generation, "I would say the best advice I could give to the future generation of racing is to never give up on your dream- it’s never too late! Be sure to surround yourself with knowledgeable and supportive people, and drive others the way you’d like to be driven!" As for rules, Todd would like to see the allowed use of some aftermarket bracing/support for parts that they use; just something to allot parts to last longer. He doesn't currently have any rivals, he told us that he is still very much a rookie!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at BDM Racing!

If you’re interested in marketing partnership please reach out! We will be happy for anyone that wishes to jump, or continue on board to help us through the season! With partnership you can expect your logo (provided by you) displayed on the car, special mentions on Facebook post action reports, and will be recommended to folks asking for goods/services your business provides. Please reach out if you’re interested in climbing on board for the season! We have not ironed out our schedule yet, but intend to run predominantly the SC area with possible trips into NC and GA as well.

We’ve been pretty dormant here lately, the guys have been super busy in the shop trying to figure out this thunder bomber and tie up some loose ends on the late model! So far we’ve been able to show improvement as our team has been working through some issues with the thunder bomber with several top 5 and top 10 finishes this season! Utilizing the help and information from some great friends and fellow competitors we’ve seen great improvement and hope to continue on the trend of improvement throughout the remainder of the season! Hopefully things will become easier and we can get back to keeping everyone updated here like we’ve intended to. Come see us this Saturday out at Sumter Speedway!

We’ve been dormant on the page here for a while, but we’re prepping for the 2025 season and it’s time to ask for anyone looking for marketing partnerships. If you or someone you know owns a business and is looking for exposure in the SC, NC, and GA areas in 2025 get with us about partnership opportunities. We ask for a minimum donation of $200 that would get you on both cars. Versus selling specific spots for certain amounts we feel it’s best for us to just ask for a minimum donation and will do our best to put higher donors in more sought after spots.

We plan to share posts from your page here on the BDM page as well as tag your page in our weekly race recap posts each week after the race. Feel free to share and/or tag your business owners you may feel are interested in this oppurtunity! We will be racing in southern NC, Eastern GA, and throughout the upstate and midlands of SC.

We appreciate everyone for sharing/tagging, and donating to help us live out this dream!

Thanks to our anchor sponsors for climbing and staying on board with us through the years:
