As a young boy, Robbie Reiser would spend hours in his father's race shop hoping he would one day follow in his father's footsteps as a racecar driver.

He did just that: In 1984, he began driving late models and grabbed 14 different track, area and regional championships from 1990-1992.

He formed Reiser Enterprises in October 1993 and ran a limited Busch Series schedule in 1994 and 1995. In 1996, Reiser put his own team on hold and went to work for Hut Stricklin's Busch Series team. In 1997, he assumed the duties of full-time car owner and crew chief as Reiser Enterprises ran eight races with Tim Bender before teaming up with Matt Kenseth.

Reiser's relationship with Kenseth moved to a new level in 2000 with both moving to the Roush Racing organization to compete in the Cup Series. The duo captured the Raybestos Rookie of the Year award, as well as their first series win at the Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte.

In 2001, Reiser and Kenseth struggled through the first half of the season, but finished strong with three top-fives in the last six races of the year. Led by Reiser, the pit crew beat out 24 of the best crews in Winston Cup to win the Unocal 76/Rockingham World Pit Crew Competition and set a new world record.

Reiser and Kenseth kicked off the 2002 season with a victory at Rockingham. That win was the first of a series-high five victories for the the team and led them to an eighth-place finish in the championship point standings. And Reiser once again headed up the winners of the 2002 World Pit Crew Competition.

Kenseth and Reiser climbed the mountaintop in 2003, capturing the NASCAR championship in one of the most dominating fashions in recent memory.
