After spending time doing other jobs before his career in racing, Luke Ebersole might appreciate driving Standardbreds a little more than others out there. He almost lives by the saying that “A bad day at the track is better than a good day at work.”
Prior to diving fulltime into harness racing in the mid-2010s, Luke had jobs working in mines and pouring concrete. It was hard work with not a lot to show for it in the end but a paycheck. During one of the two-week layoff periods in the mining job, Ebersole decided he had enough and joined the family business.
