Accomplishments in Racing: Rederstorf began his racing career in 1984 in the Super Stocks division at the Auto City (MI) Speedway back when the Clio, Michigan speed plant was still a dirt track. He ran there until 1986 when the track was paved.

After taking several years off to start a family, he returned to racing in 1994 and from then until 1997, he ran a Limited Late Model at several facilities throughout his home state of Michigan with success.

Rederstorf ran at the following speedways; Michigan Ideal (Now Springport Motor) Speedway, Dixie Motor Speedway, Auto City, Flat Rock Speedway, Owosso Speedway, and even on the Gingerman Road Course. He won his first feature race and was awarded Sportsman of the year at Michigan Ideal, and also won Best looking Car and Crew at Dixie during those years.

From 1998 until 2005, he ran in an Outlaw Bodied Super Late Model in various events at Auto City, Dixie, and he even ventured out of Michigan for the first time when he competed at the Toledo (OH) Speedway. In 1998, he won the Car and Crew Award at Auto City.

2006 saw Rederstorf make the move to the Auto City Pro Late Models (Now Super Stocks) with template body/crate engine rules similar to the ASA Late Model Series. He also made his ASALMS debut during the Mason-Dixon/Dixieland Challenge indoors events at the DeVos (MI) Place in December of 2006 and finished Third in his first ASALMS outing! In 2007, he was awarded the Most Improved Driver at Auto City while finishing Eighth in the final point’s standings.
