Logan Mclean
TECHNICIAN
Logan McLean is a familiar face at EDX, having previously raced with the team in 2023 and 2024 before making the move from behind the wheel to working trackside as a technician. That time in the seat gave him a driver's understanding of what a kart needs to perform, which now shapes how he approaches every setup and repair.
After getting his start on the tools in 2024, Logan has quickly made the mechanic side of racing look just as natural as driving — his skills are just as impressive off the track as they were on. These days, it might actually be stranger to see him in a race suit than his mechanic gear. From racing the kart to keeping it race-ready, Logan plays a key role in making sure the team's equipment is set up right, every session.
DAN MCDERMOTT
team ambassador
​
Dan is a key member of EDX, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Having previously served as a team driver, he now proudly represents us as a brand ambassador. His insights and dedication play a crucial role in our success, making him an invaluable part of the team.
