Tom was born in Flint, Michigan on February 19, 1954, the son of Lloyd (Bert) and Rita Cummings. Once he hit his teenage years, he discovered racing and went on to have a successful professional racing career in flat track for over a decade. He continued in the racing scene by creating the TCR Grand National Team many years later. Tom was the chief builder and mechanic, leading his team on to 37 Grand National wins. It was the most wins for a privateer AMA flat track team. Meanwhile, Tom and his family successfully owned Cummings’s Harley-Davidson, a fixture in the Flint Community for more than 60 years. When not at work, he spent most of his time with his wife, Mary and son. His main passion was sponsoring and building race bikes and traveling for Nick’s Racing Career, while making sure to pass on the racing tradition. Tom also loved being a grandpa and tinkering in his garage. He was a very giving and caring person who would give the shirt off of his back, but TC did it his way!

son, Nicholas (Aubrey);

sister, Kathleen (Tom) Altizer;

grandchildren, Calli and Hadley; Bailey and Mason.
