The Fish Racing Story

“A family of boys who love racing.”
– TJ Fish
1984

Three Brothers, One Garage

Brian, Chip and TJ Fish were boys on BMX bikes when racing got hold of them, and it never let go. BMX bikes, then snowmobiles, then dirt bikes, then cars. The machines kept changing; the one thing they all had in common was racing, and that was the only thing the brothers cared about. It made them feel alive.

TJ started saving at eight for one thing: a dirt bike. That was all he wanted, for years. At fourteen he had $425, and a kid down the street was selling his Kawasaki KX for $450. His dad covered the last $25, then sent him out to the garage to grab something. The bike was waiting.

By the time they were grown they were wrenching side by side in the same garage, and they kept saying the same thing: we should start Fish Brothers Racing. Nobody knew yet what that would be. They only knew they loved racing, and they loved working on it together.

Fish Brothers Racing, Number 323

TJ made it real. He went motocross racing as Fish Brothers Racing, with team merchandise for his sons, under the number 323, from Colossians 3:23: whatever you do, work at it with all your heart.

His boys were hooked. The smell of the gas, the sound of the two-strokes, and a dad who seemed as strong as anyone alive.

The Moonshot

One of TJ's sons, Andrew, fell for cars and for selling at the same time. As a kid he walked to school with a shoebox of things to resell: pencils, erasers, McDonald's toys, anything with a buyer. He never stopped. He bought his first sports car, and in 2021 he started selling parts, first under a few niche names built around the cars he liked. Then he took the moonshot: one big store that carries the family name, helps everyone, and provides good prices. Years of building a network of brands later, Fish Brothers Racing became a thing after all.
