Patrick Finton
Owner/Manager
Patrick grew up in a racing family he spent most of his summers at the racetracks learning about the sport and getting to know the people.
At age eighteen Patrick moved to Missouri after graduating high school in his hometown of Bartlesville Oklahoma to pursue a career as a full time pit crew member for a professional race team, while working for the company he met a man that also worked for the company that lettered race cars in the evenings. Patrick had been drawing cars since he was a child and was fascinated with the thought of lettering a real car, so in the evenings he would watch and learn. Four years later he would take up the “hobby” that would eventually become FMD race graphics. Well that was almost ten years ago and after lettering over 1000 cars its still hard to believe. So with a wealth of knowledge and experience he plans to take FMD into the next ten years, bigger and better.

Zac Finton
Owner/Designer
As a boy, my older brother Patrick and I would go to the races and to local drivers shops. I have been around racing my whole life. In school I would draw race cars and my art teachers would tell me I had talent, even though they did not know what a race car was. Now I design racecars for a living. Patrick started FMD in 1998 as a hobby. In 1999 I followed in my brothers footsteps by helping after school and in the summers. The first time I designed a car for FMD was in the year 2000. The car I designed won best-looking car at Creek County speedway. I graduated from Bartlesville high school in 2002 and began working with Patrick even more. Since then I have designed graphics for over 800 racecars. I hand draw over half of the fonts and numbers on the cars. This is something that I love to do. I have a passion for designing racecar graphics and I will spend the rest of my life doing not only what I am good at, but also what I love to do. |
