A Life Defined by Passion and Purpose
Chris Raschke was a racer, a mentor, and a friend to everyone who knew him. As longtime director of sales and marketing at ARP (Automotive Racing Products) and the driver of the legendary Speed Demon at Bonneville, Chris lived at the intersection of precision and passion.
His warmth, his generosity, and his love for the motorsports community defined everything he did — both on and off the salt flats.
“The best way to honor someone’s life is to carry forward what they stood for.”Learn More
Built on Connection and Camaraderie
Land speed racing at Bonneville is more than a sport — it’s a tight-knit community bound by shared passion, mutual respect, and the pursuit of something extraordinary.
Chris was the heart of that community. Whether he was working on the Speed Demon, helping a fellow racer, or sharing a story under the desert sky, he made everyone feel like family. The foundation carries that spirit forward.
