Round Head Racing is the name affectionately given to Decker's race team by his family. Decker is a high school honor student in NJ who has always wanted to be a race car driver. He has followed NASCAR since he was an infant - by the time he was in Kindergarten, he was able to do addition and subtraction up to 43... from watching NASCAR races on TV and keeping track of positions! Decker started ra
cing in 2011 at the Sandstone Quarter Midget track at Atco Speedway in Atco, NJ. After 2 seasons and a handful of wins, Decker moved up to Micro-Sprints in 2013. Decker raced his first season in a 125, but did not race for points. During his second season in 2014, Decker raced for points in the 125 class and came in 3rd, logging his first win as well! In his third race season in 2015, Decker raced at Airport Speedway in New Castle, DE, Bridgeport Speedway in Bridgeport, NJ, and Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway in Newmanstown, PA. He raced half the season in a 125 and then switched to a 270cc mid-season. The 2016 season looks to be our best yet, with a couple new sponsors on board and Decker set to race again at Airport Speedway, Spirit Auto Center Speedway (formerly Bridgeport Speedway), and Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway. He is also looking to add a couple new tracks this year as well, specifically Action Track USA and Linda's Speedway. The race team is made up of mostly family members and close family friends. Rich Mellor is a good friend, and has been a great mentor to Decker throughout his racing career. Rich races the #02 Woodland Trucking 600cc-Wingless and both Decker and Rich travel to the track together weekly, along with Decker's dad Dan, and Rich's step-dad Anton, who together provide most of the pit crew duties for both Decker and Rich. Decker's mom Nikki is in charge of social media, photography, and sponsorship. Grandmom Nancy is the money-lady; without her, Decker would never have gotten his start in the sport. Rich's mom Pat provides support to the entire family as well as guidance and wisdom. Other important members who have provided their assistance in one way or another along the way are: Alexis (Decker's sister), Steven (Decker's step-dad), Hugh, and Phil.
