Born on August 6th, 1985, the next racer in the Chambers family was introduced into the world.  Brett has attended races his whole life, starting before he was born.  Having a rich family history in racing was a key factor in knowing Brett would someday be in a race car.  Cliff Chambers, the late grandfather of Brett Ladehoff, was a key person to the racing community in Central Iowa for many years.  Cliff promoted the Marshalltown Speedway, along with flagging at various other race tracks around the state.  Cliff lost his battle with cancer in 1989, and thus from that day on the Marshalltown Speedway has held a memorial race every year in his memory. 

Starting in 1993, Brett's uncle Rob Chambers and crew chief Ken Williams started racing Bombers.  Unfortunately, the year didn't go as planned, Kenny rolled the car a couple times and Rob didn't fare too well.  In 1996 Rob picked up his first track championship.  Rob moved into the IMCA Modifieds in 2000 and quickly retired in 2003.  Rob was never able to win his father's memorial race, but in 2006 he witnessed his nephew win it in his first try.  For over 16 years, it has been Brett's dream to win his grandfather's memorial race, and he did just that in 2006.  Brett placed 5th in the 2007 Memorial Race after leading the first 5 laps. 

Brett's future plans are to move into the Late Model division after he has gotten a handle in the IMCA Modified class.  In 2008, Brett plans on running weekly at the Marshalltown Speedway on Friday nights, and using Saturdays as a pick day to race between the Independence Motor Speedway, Hamilton County Speedway and the Boone Speedway.  Brett will tackle his first USMTS race this year as the USMTS Series comes to the Independence Motor Speedway and the Marshalltown Speedway.
