WHO IS PAUL FODDE? 

Born November 22nd, 1996 from St. Louis, MO, Paul Fodde had the need for speed at a young age. Always obsessed with his die-cast cars and the races on TV, Fodde became indulged with motorsports. Paul ended up starting a YouTube channel in 2007, making stop motion races with his die-cast cars. Those videos gained thousands of views per video and over a million views total across his old channel, Legonascar88fan. 

Fodde stepped away from YouTube videos to focus on being involved in racing. Fodde became an avid sim racer, racing against many other race car drivers on iRacing, winning races and championships.  After a few years, Fodde was able to start his real-world debut at the Gateway Kartplex in 2015. Fodde had a few years of success, finishing top 5 in points twice, a best finish of 2nd, and many historic tracks crossed off the bucket list. To name a few, Fodde has competed at Daytona Kart Week (2016 and 2025), Rock Island Grand Prix (2016), Quincy Grand Prix (2024, 9th in Ignite Heavy), and the inagrual USAC Battle at the Brickyard held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (2017, 17th/54 Ignite Senior). 

​

In 2026, Paul drove in the ARCA Daytona Pre Race Practice for 1995 ARCA Champion Andy Hillenburg's Fast Track Racing, completing his first laps in a full bodied stock car. Paul is hoping to make his ARCA debut in 2026. 

Off the track, Paul Fodde enjoys pickleball, going to the gym, dogs, and hanging with friends. Fodde also was a Varsity Athlete in High School (Soccer, Cheerleading) and won an award for his efforts in Cheerleading. Fodde attended the University of Missouri- Columbia, graduating with a bachelor's degree. Paul is proud to be a part of the Mizzou Alumni. While not on the podcast, Paul also runs a YouTube channel- featuring vlogs, gaming, and creating diecast Stop Motions- just like he did 10 years ago.

We are hoping to make starts in many different series, with ambitions to race in different televised series such as IMSA, NASCAR, ARCA, or anything with a steering wheel and 4 tires.

Paul Fodde Racing can't thank it's sponsors for their support in his racing endeavors. 

We can't wait to see what 2026 brings for the Paul Fodde Racing team!
