Stanton Barrett definitely lives life out on the edge.
His approach to living full-on, with little regard to the dangers he experiences almost daily, sets him apart from all others as an eXtreme-sports extremist.

After a successful career in go-karts with an amazing 21 wins in 28 starts, Barrett made his NASCAR Busch Series debut in 1992 at Oxford Plains Speedway where he earned the outside pole in his very first Busch race.

He has run a limited schedule in the Busch Series since then, with a best finish of fifth at Atlanta Motor Speedway and eight top ten finishes.

Barrett has competed in 18 NASCAR Nextel Cup events since 1999.

 Coast to coast - Stanton is best known as one of the very few independent NASCAR
team owners who are also the team driver. Being an owner/driver of a NASCAR team takes dedication and experience of which although young, Stanton has committed both for the last 17 years in NASCAR racing.

emerging director and producer. Want someone to jump a car 80 feet over a dry river bed, or fall 100 ft from a building, or perhaps jump a motorcycle from building to building in down town la, he has done it all.  

In NY – he is best know for his film production and direction – working on everything
