Chris " Digger" Endres, owner of Team Digger has been interested in motorsports, since he was a young boy watching his father compete at the drag strip.
Chris started out drag racing in his twenties, made the switch to four wheeling in 2000, and then discovered his real passion rockcrawling in 2001.
Not one to stand on the side lines for long, Julie decided it was time to follow Digger's passion and joined the team as driver in 2006.
This being her rookie year, each competition was a learning experience. Adopting Digger's drive to be the best as her own, Julie has shown her tenacity. More
