Significant Racing Accomplishments: Qualified for a big 5,000 dollar to win race in Oklahoma, against 220 other cars from all over the U.S. and finished 7th.

Most Memorable Racing Moment: The first time I raced with my dad and won, he finished second and also being in a race with my dad, brother and my uncle.

Funniest Moment in Racing: Me and my brother were in a main event and we were running 5th and 6th. He drove in really deep and bounced off me in order to make the corner. The next turn I laid into him pretty hard and from there on to the end of the race we end up beating each other up every chance we got, kind of like bumper cars. When the race was over we both got out and were rolling on the ground from laughing so hard, it was the most fun I have had in a race car, as far as we were concerned we were the only ones on the track.

Tell us about your first race: All I can remember is I was super nervous and the other part of me wanted to win, I finished in the top ten. From then I was completely hooked.

Favorite Track:

Favorite Driver: My dad and Brother

Additional Comments I have been stationed at Ft Drum since 05 and the Army has kept me gone for most of that between deployments, training and schools. This is the first summer I have had off so I hope to get as much racing in as I can before I have to deploy again this fall. I'm looking forward to racing at Can Am this year.
