How did you get into racing? How old were you? First car/class?
Both my parents raced it’s just in my blood been going to the races since before I was a year old ran my first go kart race at 11 in blue plate.
What is your favorite racing memory?
My first FASTRAK Weekly late model win at Toccoa, GA Speedway.
Greatest achievement in your racing career?
Getting the opportunity to race for Sammy Speaks at Precision Suspension.
Any superstitions (peanuts not allowed in pits, etc.)?
I'm very superstitious, no peanuts at anytime shop track race truck no green on race day and to listen for pirate flag on the radio always seem to have good luck (hence the skull and crossbones on the roof).
What is the story behind running the number you choose?
42 was always my dad’s number and he ran it because of his favorite driver Doug Kinemer.
What is the hardest part of racing?
The ups and downs normally when your down you keep getting hit with hard things you can win a race one week and next night same track not even be able to line up.
What got you involved with the FASTRAK Racing Series and what keeps you racing with the Series??
Just wanting to run with good drivers and completion and most of the races are in our region and we don't have to go far to attend them.

Toccoa is really my home track though I'm. Not from there I like the size and speed! So far I've liked places like Dublin 441 and Phenix City because the size and speed. I also like Lavonia it's been good to me Friendship Speedway is the hardest place to go to a local race at they will have 28 cars easy for $800 and you will be a tenth off the pole and qualify 10 (know that from experience).
What do you like to do when you are not racing?
Just spending time with my friends and family don't really have time for much.
