Garrett and Brady Alberson are going to be famous one day, and if their upcoming fame mirrors how they race, it will come swiftly and have anyone who is watching on their feet in anticipation.

Garrett, 20, was the first of the two brothers to hit the race track when he was 14-years-old. Attending a super truck school at Southern New Mexico Speedway, Garrett drove a couple of laps around the track and then attended class to see what racing was like.

“The first time I drove, I crashed the truck,” Garrett says. “The second time I drove, the motor broke.”

Garrett didn’t let the crash or the broken motor stop him, and before long he was racing with some of the best in the area. As time went by, he became one of the best in the area. Since he started racing, primarily at Southern New Mexico Speedway and El Paso Speedway Park, Garrett has crossed the line in first place 25 times to receive the Feature Main Event Win. He has also won two Track Championships, one Governor’s Award and been named Rookie of the Year in Las Cruces and El Paso.

“When I am on the track, I have a focus that I don’t normally have,” Garrett says. “It’s something I can’t even really describe. All I want is to win.”

What might have once been a sure win, Garrett’s races have some stiff competition from Brady, 16, who started racing super trucks when he was 13-years-old. To date, Brady has earned eight Feature Main Event Wins as well as Las Cruces Rookie of the Year.

“He’s given me another level of competition I haven’t experienced,” Garrett says, admitting he really doesn’t see Brady as a brother on the track, but as a truck he needs to beat.

The competition between the two might come from the fact that they have competed together for years in some form of racing or another, including BMX, Go Carts (Brady is a Go Cart champion winner) and a computer NASCAR game with a realistic steering wheel.

“We played everyday on the NASCAR game so by the time we started racing we knew what we were doing,” Brady says of the game that allows them to race online gamers in addition to each other. “It was a real learning experience, and it allowed us to see how each other races.”

Whatever racing the boys are doing, it is with the support of their mom and dad, Kathi and Craig, sister, Larissa, 22, and brother, Dylan, 16. For Craig, racing has become a family affair in more ways than one.

“When I started seeing an interest for racing in the boys, I really wanted to help them develop it,” he says. “I saw a chance to spend time with them. When we aren’t at the track, we are out in the shop every day working on the trucks together.”

Both Garrett, driver of super truck 101, and Brady, driver of super truck 241, credit their family for the love of racing and encouragement they receive at the 20-25 races they participate in a year.

“We were born into a racing environment. We really don’t know anything else,” Brady says, admitting the siblings have been going to the races with Craig and Kathi since they were babies. “Racing has definitely brought us together.”

Larissa and Garrett tried racing street stock before super trucks, and Dylan (twin brother of Brady) helps with the trucks and shows a racing interest. The whole family attends weekend races during the season – Larissa even driving from Albuquerque where she is a nurse. Friends are also an important part of racing, including Rex Porter, the owner of Garrett’s truck who has raced for 50 years.

To both Garrett and Brady, the decision to make racing a career is becoming a reality by their ability to take the track by storm.

“I want as much as possible to make a living off racing,” Brady says, Garrett agreeing. “Racing NASCAR or dirt late model racing is something I think is real possible.”
