Tri-Cities, who took over
promotional duties ear-
lier this year. They’ve since
brought in drivers from as
far away as the East Coast.
Erb, Coe and their sons
race under the name Team
123. This year, Jeremy and
Shade are sitting behind the
wheel, while their fathers
work in the pit crew to
ensure every race runs
smoothly.
“My earliest memo-
ries are of my dad’s races,”
Shade said. “There’s noth-
ing better than the smell of
burning fuel and rubber, and
the people at the tracks are
incredible. I love all of it.”
Now into its fourth
decade, the Monte Carlo
has never run better. It looks
something like the Intercep-
tor that Mel Gibson drove in
the Mad Max films — lean,
mean, and jet black. A name
hasn’t been officially agreed
upon just yet. Shade likes
“Black Betty” while Coe
prefers “the Murder Carlo,”
but Jeremy’s idea might be
the most accurate: “The Big
Black Bear.”
The engine ignites with
just the press of a big red
button to the right of the
steering wheel, and the car
roars to life — it sounds like
more like a bear charging
down the raceway than a
car.
“It has a soul,” Coe said.
“It’s absolutely amazing.”
The car is outfitted with
logos from their local spon-
sors, including U.S.A. Subs,
Diamond Eye Performance,
Humbert Tires, Pendleton
Floors, Marv’s Glass Shop,
and Eastern Oregon Con-
tracting. A decal in mem-
ory of Carter, who has since
passed away, can be seen
behind the rear window.
Team 123 has enjoyed
a successful season at the
Hermiston Raceway this
year, with Jeremy and
Shade winning four of their
eight races thus far.
“It’s been our greatest
season yet,” Coe said.
Jeremy and Shade are
currently in a three-way tie
for first place, sitting atop
the leaderboard with a total
of 844 points.
The team has since
become a fan favorite at
Hermiston’s events — after
a win, Jeremy and Shade
will drive the Monte Carlo
up by the grandstands and
let kids take look. They also
hand out Team 123 stickers
and T-shirts.
“This year’s been a good
experience for them,” Erb
said. “It’s the boys’ turn to
have fun.”
The team still has a
handful of races left in the
season, with events being
held every other week-
end at the Hermiston Race-
way off Highway 395. Four
more races are scheduled
for this year, with the next
one being held this Friday,
August 3.
“You always get nervous
before a race,” Coe said.
“We want the boys to be
safe and be able to load the
car up in the trailer in one
piece. It’s all fun and games
until someone gets hurt.”
Jeremy and Shade hope
to keep the family tradition
alive for as long as possible.
“There’s nothing like it,”
Jeremy said. “I want to do
this until I can’t anymore.”
The burning passion for
racing found within Team
123 has served as a strong
foundation in keeping their
families close.
“We’ve never been
closer as a family unit,”
Coe said. “We love what we
do. It’s like getting the band
back together.”

The artistic side of sports
“Beautiful Games:

opens Friday at

HERMISTON HERALD
Some of Jim Thorpe’s
medals are featured in an
exhibition at Tamástslikt
Cultural Institute.
A member of the Sac
and Fox Nation, Thorpe
won Olympic gold med-
als in the pentathlon and
decathlon. In addition, he
played professional foot-
ball and baseball.
“Beautiful
Games:
American Indian Sport &
Art” highlights the artis-
tic element of sports. The
exhibit features artwork,
artifacts, history and dis-
cussions about sports and
its role in tribal life. It
opens Friday with free
admission. Tamástslikt is
located near Wildhorse
Resort & Casino, off Inter-
state 84 at Exit 216.
Sports have played
a pivotal role in Ameri-
can Indian tribal commu-
nities. Also, many con-
temporary sports played
across cultures are rooted
in traditional tribal sport-
ing games.
Native games are more
than just games — they
build body and spirit
through exercise and are
played by all ages. Many
games have roots in ances-
tral tests of strength and
sport that reinforced group
cooperation and sharpened
survival skills. Also, Amer-
ican Indians occasionally
incorporated games into
religious ceremonies.
Competition
teaches
cooperation,
consensus,
compromise and team-
work, all of which are pil-
lars of indigenous soci-
eties. Athletes learn how
to develop strategies and
solve problems, patience,
discipline, perseverance,
trust, empathy, respect and
control. These games and
play are integral in helping
