Maspeth, NY: Two years ago legendary sportsman competitor Peter Biondo made the conscious decision to scale back his personal racing efforts to a degree, in an attempt to focus on other interests. While one could certainly argue that the five-time NHRA world champion and multiple big dollar bracket winner has nothing to prove behind the wheel, Biondo says that isn’t necessarily the reasoning behind his decreased on track schedule.
“Racing has been very, very good to me and my family,” he said. “But I chased points and big dollar events, and I raced nearly every weekend during the season for nearly two decades. I had a lot of other interests that I put on the back burner for so long I felt like it was time to re-prioritize.”
Some of Biondo’s endeavors outside the drivers seat include a key role in his families longtime business, Biondo Racing Products. Biondo Racing Products is the exclusive drag racing dealer for Sparco safety equipment, and carries a variety of racing components and accessories for the sportsman racer. Peter is joined at the family business by his brother Sal (also a former NHRA Champion), family patriarch Sam, and a host of talented employees.
