Built on racing but influenced by music, punk and gothic scenes, and underground subcultures like alt, emo, hardcore, post hardcore, industrial, grunge, metalcore, nu metal, death metal, etc. 813 Racing exists as a space for movement, expression, and community beyond just the track.

As the driving force behind the brand, Blake oversees its direction, growth, and execution while keeping it rooted in authenticity.

The 813 represents the creative and cultural identity of the brand. It is the alter ego that shapes storytelling, visuals, emotion, and attitude. This side of the brand leans into darker themes, punk and gothic influence, and expressive narratives designed to connect with people on an emotional level rather than just a surface one.
The 813 Shop/813 Apparel serve as the wearable extension of the brand. Each piece is designed as part of the larger story, built around emotion, experience, and themes meant to resonate. The apparel is not just merchandise, but another way the culture, mindset, and influence of 813 Racing is expressed and shared.
