MEET THE TEAM: Melvin and Cheryl 🏁🤩
Melvin is the start to Russell Langley Racing. He has memories of riding his bike down to the County Line to watch the races and thinking how bad he wanted to race too! Getting gifted his very first race car at 16 he went to work along with a few others, they will be mentioned in a later post, and never looked back.
One day Cheryl came along and the rest was history! Cheryl has helped support Melvin in his racing endeavors for as long as they have been together. She has followed him where this road has lead them over the years, and that has been to many different tracks in many different states. To see the true love they share for one another is a blessing.
Melvin has been all over the east coast racing in all different cars and trucks over the years. He’s ran asphalt cars and trucks and skin it up on dirt for the last 25 years. Melvin has a true love for this sport and it holds a deep place in his heart. He has and continues to always be thankful that the Lord lets him get in and out the car every single time. Over the years Melvin and Cheryl have seen the Lord work in some amazing ways and know they will continue to see His hand at work! Racing is more than just a sport for Melvin, it’s family. And RLR can definitely agree that racing takes friends and makes them family, someone you can count on to show up for you even if they aren’t blood.
We are so thankful for Melvin and the dream that 16 year old him had! We wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for that dream.
