How did you get your start racing? At the age of 4, my Grandpa Jerry, my dad and I went out to the Oakland County Sportsman Club in Waterford, MI to look at a road racer for my dad. A quarter midget track is setup right in front of the road course, so we stopped in to take a look. My dad asked me if I would like to race these midget cars (what 4 year old would not), and the rest is history.
What drew you into Outlaw Super Late Model racing? Looking up to the drivers/teams that raced them as I traveled with the Michigan Legends series really drove me to one day race an Outlaw Late Model myself. Plus the sounds and smells!
Most memorable moment in racing: Qualifying in the G main at the quarter midget dirt nationals in Hagerstown MD, and racing up to finish 2nd in the A Main.
Biggest win: Winning the 2012 ARCA Street Stock Championship at Flat Rock Speedway
Favorite driver of all time to watch: Ayrton Senna
Was there a driver that you really admired and why? Tony Stewart, because of his talent on any type of track in any car.
Who is your on track rival? I haven't had a rival in a long time.
Most embarrassing moment in racing: First attempt at a race win burnout.
What do you do while away from the track? I love to boat, fish, play around with R/C cars, and participate in IRacing.
