Cap Henry is a 17-year-old junior high school student that has been racing for over ½ of his life. He began racing go-karts at the age of 6 years old, and has been racing for 11 years. In those 11 years he has won over 100 races on everything from dirt to asphalt and from oval karts to road racing karts, from micro sprint cars to Kenyon Midgets, and now a 305 sprint car. He has participated in the WKA, SKUSA, Cart Stars Of Karting, and USAC. He was a ¼ final round competitor in the 2004 Red Bull Drivers search.

His accomplishments in the last 10 months include Qualifying in the top 5 in the King Taco 80 cc Shifter class in the stars of karting west coast series, finishing in the top 10 in 4 of the 5 events run. He then returned to the Midwest to run in the USAC Kenyon Midget Division winning 1 heat race, leading one feature, and finishing 13th out of 23 drivers having only running 5 events of the series. Cap also ran an asphalt 305 full size sprint car at Sandusky Speedway 2 times in the fall of 2005 with a finishing 4th out of 8 in the heat race, making it straight to the A-main in which he finished 16th out of 25 starters.

His second event in the 305 sprint car garnered the then 15 year old driver his first ever heat race win in his second start, at the Sandusky Speedway Cavalcade, their biggest event of the year. He DNF in the feature being taken out by another driver on the first lap, resulting in a heavily damaged racecar, finishing the teams 2005 season.

Winter of 2005 found the driver setting 2nd quick time to his teammate and event winner John Ivy at the USAC Rumble in Ft. Wayne event in the Winged 600cc Outlaw Midget division. He DNF in the feature with a chain issue.

Cap returned to Sandusky Speedway Asphalt 305 Sprint racing in 2006 with a new car, beginning the year with a 4th place finish in his first heat race, and a second place finish in the main event leading laps 16 through 24, being passed on the last lap by the much more experienced 2005 track champion Todd Buchanan. The second event of the year resulted in another 4th place heat race finish, and a 16th overall main event finish having started 16th. Cap then returned to the seat of a go kart for the first time in almost a year running 2nd to his engine builder in a very hotly contested race at Fremont Raceway Park on the 1/10 mile asphalt oval, in which he had to battle from the back to the front on at least one occasion. The end of June 2006 found the driver competing on the dirt for the very first time in a sprint car at Fremont Speedway, Fremont, Ohio during the All-Stars Circuit Of Champions 2006 sprint speed week. 40 cars had signed in for 20 starting positions in the main event. Though the team did not make the main event the driver impressed many of the regular drivers as he quickly adapted to the track and the new driving style, holding many of them off during hot laps, his one heat race and the B-main.

His B-main consisted of many of the A-main regulars like Doug Berryman, Brad Bowman, Chris Andrews and Dustin Dinan. He finished where he started in 9th place. The team was more than pleased with this debut. July will find the driver competing 3 to 4 times on the dirt, going to Attica Raceway Park for the first time on Friday July 7th, and returning to Fremont Speedway July 8th. The remainder of the July's schedule as to whether the team will return to asphalt or stay on the dirt has yet to be determined. The young driver is scheduled for Bob Bondurant School Of High Performance Driving 4 day Grand Prix School July 24 through the 27th in C-5 Corvettes and Bondurant Super Grand Prix Cars. This should further enhance his over all driving skills and further his abilities to drive in all types of cars on all types of terrains be it dirt or asphalt, oval or road course.
