Randy Long

Randy Long's older brother, Jim Long was a driver on Borland Racing while Randy drove for Sacks Enterprises, two teams with a big rivalary.

### Career

#### Peak Motorsports

Randy Long raced in two races for Peak Motorsports in 2004, finishing 6th in the inagural race at Dover, and 7th at Sonoma. During the off season, with only a race worth of sponsorship, tentative plans were made for Long to return in 2005, but were scraped when Peak Motorsports decided to make the 13 full time, shutting down the 12.

#### Borland Racing

Midway into the 2005 season, Long was rideless, again making tentative plans to race part time for Peak Motorsports in the 11 as Terry Cope was underpreforming and his contract expired at the end of the season. However, luck was on his side as Carlo Soto, driver of the 43 Borland Racing's car was injured at Bristol. In his first race for the team, he finished runner up at Daytona, and earned four more races for the season, since the 43 was already primarily unsponsered. In those races, he finished outside of the top 15 twice, showing promise, but again leaving his future uncertain.

#### Borland Racing and Peak Motorsports

In 2006, Randy Long was given only a three race deal by Borland Racing, driving their new 44, with the expectation he would replace Tommy Wingo for 2007. To fill out the rest of his schedule, Long returned to Peak Motorsports, finding success in the 12, with three top five finishes. In his first start in the Borland car, he would crash out, and finished 11th at Daytona with damage after leading the majority of laps, but in his final start, he won at Wall again leading the most laps. Although he received offers from both Borland and Peak to drive full time in 2007, he instead signed a two year deal with Sacks Enterprises, who, at that point, had won every championship.

#### Sacks Enterprises

In Randy Long's first season with Sacks Enterprises, he would earn two wins, at Richmond and Wall. In a very respectable 2007 season, he would finish second in the point standings, finishing five points behind Doug DeHart. Long would also finish every race inside the top ten, except for a DNF at Pick's Peak. Randy Long would win the 2008 championship, with two wins at Sonoma and Phoenix, beating out teammate Doug DeHart by six points. Long would also earn top five finishes in half of the races that season, the same as the year prior. Long would also earn a contract extension with Sacks Enterprises through 2011.

Long would not be able to win back to back championships in 2009, earning 11 top tens but only 5 top fives and 1 win, coming at Sonoma. Long would finish third in the points to teammates Doug DeHart, and Kevin McCoy, again coming into 2010 as a championship contender. Meanwhile, in Long's only AARL Two race in it's inagural season, he would win at Road Atlanta, leading the most laps but failing to earn the pole. The 2010 season would be very similar to his 2009 season, with Long earning 11 top tens, and a single win, again at Sonoma. However, this year, Long would earn two more top fives, and was in contention for the championship, finishing just two positions to the bad in the final race of the season. Meanwhile, in his single AARL Two race, he would also win again at Road Atlanta.
