About Us
Carmean Motorsports, started by brothers Jon and Brad Carmean in 2007, grew from a rich passion to race and competes to be the best in professional motorsports. They started young, racing high horsepower street cars to motorcycles and even shifter karts. Shortly after creating Carmean Motorsports, they began to build a high performance race car out of a stock Pontiac Trans Am. The car had one of the highest horsepower ratings on a stock block at 900 horsepower. The Carmean brothers have developed a very competitive race program in which they expect nothing less than the best, and they plan to set a new world record for the quickest E.T. in NMCA True Street class.
