Casey was born into a motorsports family that has been in business for over 60 years building high performance rear ends for most off-road and NASCAR style racing. Growing up in Anaheim Hills, California he has been drawn to anything with a motor. By the age of 5 he was racing motorcycles and by the age of 16 he jumped behind the wheel of his first race truck. Currie’s off-road resume is lined with wins on motorcycles, trucks and buggies in the desert – this one is no stranger to dirt sports.
Casey’s career began with wins in the MDR series in his JeepSpeed, taking 2nd in Pro Truck in the Baja 1000 and 3rd in the Class 1 Car in the Baja 500. He expanded to SuperMoto where he quickly proved himself, winning many races and ranking himself 5th overall in the AMA Lites Class and 1st in team points in his rookie year.
At 22, Casey became the youngest team owner in short course and Casey has made the most of it: multiple wins and podium finishes, a short course championship in 2010, a Masterpiece of Metal feature in Dirt Sports magazine, created an 8-truck team for the Monster Jam events, setting history by finishing the Baja 500 Trophy Truck Class in a straight-axle Jeep, among many other accomplishments. By bringing everything in-house, Casey expanded his ability to build multiple race vehicles and custom Jeeps for his various racing ventures and increase the number of custom Jeep builds for the many non-race events he attends such as Trail of Missions, Rubicon, Bantam Historic Jeep Festival, Jeep Beach, SEMA Battle of the Builders and Off-Road Expo.
In 2017 he accomplished wins in three different disciplines of racing, winning the opening round of the TORC Short Course series in his Pro Lite, taking the crown of King of Portugal in his Ultra 4 Jeep, and then culminating the year by winning the Baja 1000 in the Ultra 4 Class in his Trophy Jeep.
In 2018 Currie claimed victories in the Baja 500 and Baja 1000, while taking home the 2018 Score Series Championship in the Hammers Unlimited Class. He also started his journey to compete in the toughest off-road race, Dakar. He would take his first Rally win at the Desafio Inca Rally.
In 2019 at his first Dakar he finished 4th in the UTV Class and took Rookie of Dakar. Building off of his success from Dakar Currie won Gold at the inaugural Jeep X Challenge at Winter X-Games in his first ever X-Games appearance. He would follow up with wins in the Ultra 4 Class at the Mint 400 and the UTV Class win at the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge.
Following his inaugural Dakar Rally, in 2020 Casey would go on to become the first American to win Dakar, taking home the UTV Class title in only his second running of the famous race. Casey looks to further push the boundaries of off-road travel and racing.
