About Lee Motorsports

Where Passion Meets Performance — Lee Motorsports is a family-owned and operated motorsports business located just south of Joplin, Missouri, right off Hwy 43 on Gum Road. Proudly serving the Southwest Missouri region, including Tulsa and Northwest Arkansas, we’ve become a trusted destination for racers, gearheads, and off-road enthusiasts alike.

Built from the Garage Up

Founded by a longtime paramedic with 25+ years of hands-on experience in motorsports repair and fabrication, Lee Motorsports began as a humble speed shop in our garage. Over time, our dedication to doing it right the first time—and only offering products we’d use ourselves—transformed our passion into a full-scale business rooted in racing, reputation, and results.

Competing at the Highest Level

We don’t just sell race parts—we live this life. Lee Motorsports actively competes in some of the largest big-money drag racing events in the United States, traveling coast-to-coast with our rear-engine dragsters and doorslammer race cars. From bracket racing shootouts to heads-up battles, we’re right there in the lanes—testing, tuning, and winning.

Our experience at national-level events fuels our product selection and tech support. When we recommend something, it’s because we’ve used it, abused it, and trusted it under pressure. Whether you're building a drag car, setting up a pit bike, or upgrading a street/strip setup, you’re getting advice from racers who race.

Top-Quality Powersports & Performance Gear

We offer a handpicked lineup of high-performance scooters, pit bikes, and off-road products that combine durability, value, and real-world reliability. Perfect for racers, farmers, trail riders, and families, every item we carry is backed by a warranty—some up to 3 years—and every one meets our strict quality standards.

Meet the Owner – Matt Lee

25+ years in public service. 30+ years in drag racing. One mission: Do it right the first time.

Matt Lee is the founder and driving force behind Lee Motorsports. A dedicated paramedic for over 25 years, Matt’s career in public service instilled a deep sense of responsibility, integrity, and customer care—principles he now brings to every aspect of his business, both on and off the race track. Whether he’s helping a fellow racer in the pits, repairing a customer’s ride, or advising a first-time buyer, Matt leads with honesty, precision, and a calm-under-pressure mindset forged from decades of real-world experience.

But long before the business was born, Matt was hooked on horsepower. With over 30 years in drag racing—from bracket battles to high-stakes, big-money events—he’s lived through the highs and heartbreaks that come with going fast. And through it all, one truth has held steady: cheap parts cost more in the long run.

“This sport is hard on equipment,” Matt says. “If money or safety is on the line, there’s no room for guesswork. You need to rely on quality parts, and that’s what I stand behind. I only sell what I would run myself—and I run it hard.”

Lee Motorsports is more than just a business—it’s a family legacy. Now a multi-generational team, Matt races alongside his own family and a tight-knit crew of friends who’ve become family. That same trust and loyalty extends to his customers, many of whom count on Lee Motorsports for safety-critical parts, power-making upgrades, and no-nonsense tech support.

“When someone puts their trust in us—whether it's for a scooter for their kid or a transmission for a 4-second dragster—I take that seriously,” Matt says. “I’ve spent a lifetime earning trust in emergency services. Now I earn it every day in this business.”

If you're ready to work with a team that treats customers like family and builds machines that win, you’re in the right place.
