Custom Race Engines, Inc. was founded by Larry Clark in 1984 to develop and market championship race engines for many areas of competition.

During that 25 year period, successful national championship performances have been achieved in multiple areas. Custom has powered many multiple round winners in NHRA’s competitive Pro Stock drag racing class. Likewise, Custom has powered several national champions in drag boat racing’s Pro Gas Hydro and Pro Gas Flat classes.

Custom cylinder heads and manifolds, as well as complete engines, have competed with success in Nascar’s Cup and Busch series. And we’ve powered several racers to victory in Nascar’s LMS and other regional racing series.

For the last 15 years, Custom Race Engines has focused primarily on development for the late model dirt racer’s needs. The focus remains today and with great success! In late model dirt, Custom power has captured national championships 7 of the last 12 years. And 5 different late model dirt national champions have been powered by Custom Race Engines:

• 1996-Freddy Smith-Hava Tampa dirt racing series national champion.
• 1997-Billy Moyer-Hava Tampa dirt racing series national champion and shootout winner.
• 1999-Dale McDowell-Hava Tampa dirt racing series national champion and shootout winner.
• 2000-Scott Bloomquist-Hava Tampa dirt racing series national champion and shootout winner.
• 2003-Scott Bloomquist-Extreme dirt racing series national champion.
• 2004-Scott Bloomquist-World of Outlaws dirt racing series national champion.
• 2007-Steve Francis-World of Outlaws national late model champion.

Custom Race Engines horsepower has proven to be not only reliable but unbeatable in dirt racing’s most prestigious events.

We’ve won Eldora’s major events capturing the renowned World 100 twice and the Dream 100 three times!

Custom power has visited victory lane in Missouri’s Show Me 100 an unbelievable 5 times, as well as, Batevilles Topless 100 twice. We’ve tasted multiple victories in the Dirt Track World Championship and celebrated winning the Pittsburger.

The complete list of wins is far too long to list, as well as, the number of racers relying on us to provide the drivable power needed to win.

And we are not done yet! Constant research and development continues daily with new engine concepts, dyno testing, and cylinder head and manifold designs, and component evaluation and changes.

By committing to our excellence and success---we’re committed to yours!
