When and how did you get started in racing?
Growing up watching my dad I always wanted to race and be as good as he was and as soon as I turned 14 my dad let me build a car.
Who had the biggest impact on your racing career and why?
My dad, he has taught me a lot, and I’m still learning from him. (I still have a lot to learn.)
What would you be doing if you weren’t racing?
I honestly don’t know. Lets not think about that.
What is your favorite aspect of racing?
Racing in general.. It doesn’t matter what you’re racing, it’s a rush and it’s what I live for.
What is your greatest accomplishment/best memory?
There are quite a few. I don’t think I could pin point any specifically. All my wins of course and the nights we fought back from crashing or having to change motors.
Where do you see Sprint Car racing 5 years from now?
Hopefully as strong as it is now! Hopefully I will have succeeded further in my racing carear by then.
