Maybe you have never seen Robert Carradine drive, but there’s a good chance you’ve heard him laugh. Carradine comes from a long line of actors and is famous for his role as Lewis Skolnick in the Revenge of the Nerds comedy films, but according to him, his first love is auto racing. It’s this passion that drove him to the Corvette Challenge series in the 1980s. In fact, in 1988, Carradine drove Challenge Car #97, logging two top-fives (Dallas and Sears Point), while earning the pole at Brainerd. He also raced the #65 car in 1989. During that season, Carradine is credited with six top-10 finishes, including a season-best fourth at Sears Point. He’s logged countless laps on tracks around the country, including at the famed Daytona International Speedway and the Rolex 24 in 2000. Still active as an actor, Carradine was part of a 2024 film called The Night They Came Home, and is attached to a few more projects, all currently listed in pre-production.
