Crew

Annette, Derrik's Mother, has been co-owner since the beggining. She is the one that keeps the car looking great at the track, and also keeps the Ortega Crew from starving by cooking on the road.

Manny, Derrik's Father, has been co-owner and crew chief for the Ortega Racing Team from the beginning. Long hours at work, in the shop and on the road make it possible for the Ortega Team to go racing.

Mark lives near Oklahoma City, OK and has been helping the Ortega Racing Team since the Mini Sprint days. He comes out for the eastern trips and also makes his way to the southwest for many shows to help in any way possible.
