Driver Profile

When and how did you get started in racing?

My Dad built a “Bomber” or Hobby stock, whatever, when I was 12 years old that I ran at Oakshade raceway in Wauseon, Ohio. I used to run a race and then change back into my street clothes in between races so that nobody noticed a little kid in a driving suit because you had to be 16 to race. One of the officials questioned my Dad one day, “there is a rumor going around that your driver is only 15?” My Dad simply said “Nope” and walked away.

Who had the biggest impact on your racing career and why?

My Dad. My Dad always “worked until his hands bled” to give me a race car. He made amazing sacrifices for me to go racing until he couldn’t give anymore. I race because I love it, I strive to succeed so that I can make my Dad proud because he deserves it.

What would you be doing if you weren’t racing?

Probably Professional Bowling…I was basically a signature away from having my Pro Card when my Dad bought one of Stan Shoffs cars and
