Why did you choose this number? My buddy mark had always wanted to use 13 on a race car. I just got to doing it before him and we were going to race at Fulton, but someone already had the 13. I put the z on it to make it mine and it stuck.

Most Memorable Racing Moment: Its a tossup of the first night i got a Thunder Car win at Can-Am by drag racing Mike Durham to the finish line in 2007, or winning the track championship in 2009 at Thunder Alley

Funniest Moment in Racing: Running out of gas in a feature in 2008 at Can-Am has to rank up there. Loosing the exhaust system off the car and running it over a couple of times at Brewerton was pretty good too or leading everyone by a lap at Albany-Saratoga's 107.1 lap enduro to have the RF wheel fall off at 103 laps.

Tell us about your first race: I was horrible....I hit 3 different cars and almost the wall. I'll never forget when i ran into the back of Randy's white #TEN car and a week later when i was fixing my car, i found a piece of his stuck in the firewall.

Favorite Track: Can-Am or Thunder Alley (dirt)

Favorite Driver: T-Mac and Raabe
