Desert Toyz Motorsports Racing Team was founded in 2005 by Cory Sappington. He came up with the idea for the team, after he decided he wanted to turn his wifes Yamaha Rhino into a desert racer. The team has always been built around the family. Cory's wife Jeanette is the #2 driver and navigator. Cory's brother Darren is the #3 driver and navigator. Cory's sister Keli is "the race nanny" she cares for Alex and Hailey, Cory's children.
