Lockhart Phillips USA Announces Team Privateer Rider of the Year

Lockhart Phillips USA has awarded CCS Great Plains and Midwest champion Greg “Stumpy” Steltenpohl its 2004 Team Privateer Rider of the Year honors.

The Team Privateer program—which celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2004—sponsors one out of four road racers in the United States and is open to all licensed racers. The Team Privateer Rider of the Year award was established to recognize the Team Privateer racer who best exemplifies the hard work, dedication and personal sacrifice necessary to achieve racing success without direct factory support.

Steltenpohl, a rookie racer from Marquette, Michigan, is a true, grass roots privateer racer. The 28-year-old graphics designer spent his first season of road racing driving more than 10,000 miles back and forth to Blackhawk Farms Raceway for 13 race meets. With his wife, Heather, spinning the wrenches, Steltenpohl took his Honda CBR600RR to the CCS Great Plains/Midwest overall title and handily won Blackhawk’s Track Championship with 17 top-five finishes in 18 class championships in CCS and WERA competition.

For his efforts, Steltenpohl was presented with a $2,000 check from Lockhart Phillips USA at the recent CCS Midwest series awards banquet.

“When they called me to the podium, I was in complete shock,” said Steltenpohl. “To be chosen as Rider of the Year above all the other privateers in the country is an unbelievable honor. I’d like to thank Lockhart Phillips USA. It’s a great company that gets behind racers early in their career to help them see their dreams come true.”

After the votes were tallied, Lockhart Phillips USA president Wendell Phillips remarked, “I’m extremely impressed with Steltenpohl’s rookie effort and happy to offer support to riders like him and the rest of our Team Privateer participants.”
