Fast Friday | Meet Team Quintero

For the entire Quintero family, side-by-side racing has provided a place to not only have fun but to come together with like-minded racers. Quintero Racing is a family affair and together they know what it takes to be on top of the podium: a collective effort from the entire team.

When Seth Quintero was 10 years old, his passion for racing was prominent and he was on track to follow his father, Aaron Quintero’s footsteps with racing motorbikes. That came to a sudden stop when his father spent five days in the intensive care unit at a hospital after a devastating career-ending crash. That crash crushed Aaron’s rib cage and redefined what racing meant to the Quintero family. “Once my dad got hurt, they [Seth’s parents] didn’t really want to see me on a bike,” says Seth. “They thought it wasn’t the best idea, but my passion was for racing. I loved it.”

Fortunately, racing wasn’t permanently out of the picture for Seth. The Quintero’s purchased Seth a stock Polaris RZR side-by-side for the first time. Seth’s uncle, who works for a fab shop building race cars, fabricated a customized roll cage.
