How did you get into racing? How old were you? First car/class?
From a young age i bummed rides to the track to watch. Always knew one day i would have a car. Started watching dirt late models at 13yrs old i also help out a couple local drivers until 1997. I built a modified street car that i won 12 feature races in my 1st yr out. The next yr we moved into a late model which we struggled with for a couple of yrs until we decide to sale out.
What is your favorite racing memory?
When I set the NEW track record at 201 Speedway in Paintsville, KY.
What is your most embarrassing racing moment?
I was half a lap leading ahead of 2nd place when the flag man threw the white flag and i thought it was the yellow flag so i pulled over.. It was really dusty in my defense.
Greatest achievement in your racing career?
Featured in Mid American Auto Racing News for winning 9 Feature Races in a row.
Any superstitions (peanuts not allowed in pits, etc)?
I always have to kiss my wife before I go out for a race and I have to wear my orange boxers.
What is the story behind running the number you chose?
Freddy Smith "The Southern Gentleman" was my favorite driver growing up so I just chose his number.
What is the hardest part of racing?
Finding good help and sponsors.
Tell us what you like most about your home track? What are some of your other favorite tracks & why do you like them so much? What's the hardest track you've ever competed at?
I like Thunder Mountain Speedway because of it's unique paper clip shape. I also like Beckley Motorsports Park because of the wide racing surface. Now the hardest one I have ever raced at was Mountain Motor Speedway at Isom,Ky.
What do you like to do when you are not racing?
Spend time with my family and ride my harley.
