Mike Johnson and Cheryl Johnson both grew up in St. Louis.
Mike owns Pole Position Raceway, as well as manages a Chevy Racing Team and
Cheryl runs Johnson Realty. They have two children, a boy and girl.
Mike's Dad got him started in racing back when he was a kid.
He owned Duke Food Manufacturing and was an enthusiastic golfer. Eventually his
dad got bored with golf and decided to get into racing. Team Duke started
racing in an SCCA club league, then eventually moved up. Mike of course, took
notes and soon was working on the race team himself. When he turned 18, it was
time to start his own team and start racing his way up through the various
racing leagues. Mike stopped racing around 2001, but has achieved a lot with
his post-racing teams such as winning the 24 hrs. LeMans and the Grand Am
Championship. Mike wanted something to occupy his time during the off-season so
he ventured into owning Pole Position Raceway in St. Louis. The technology that
makes managing a team nowadays lets Mike manage the teams from a distance
during the week, manage his business closely and then he travels to the track
each weekend. March 18, 2014 will mark the 1 year anniversary of Pole Position
and their partnership with Jim Butler Chevrolet. Anytime you step into the
showroom at any Jim Butler location, stop by the cashier's desk to get a $5 Off
coupon on your next race at Pole Position.
Mike's car, is currently a 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche with the
full on Pole Position/Jim Butler Chevrolet graphics. His favorite part about
the vehicle is the remote start. Being on the go, and travel all the time, Mike
can start his car from his phone when he is on the shuttle back to his car at
the airport or just getting ready at home. It makes things extremely
convenient, and has made him think twice about buying any other brand of
vehicle.
