| | Career Summary | I spent 16 seasons (1996-2011) as an announcer for tracks such as The Speed Bowl, Mid-Nebraska Speedway, Elmwood Park Speedway, and WaKeeney Speedway, with the bulk of my work at Hitchcock County Speedway, McCook Speedway, Lincoln County Raceway, and Dawson County Raceway.
| | Racing Goals | My biggest goal is still to try to keep the car together, minimize breakdowns, and get it fixed when it does break down. I hope to make the A Feature when there is more than one Feature, to finish the race, and load it on the trailer. I'm hoping to improve on my best A Feature finish of 3rd place.
| | Other Interesting Team Information | I chose #31 because the #31 Late Model was my favorite car from the 70's to mid 90's. Yes, it was my uncle's number, but it's more in honor of his cars. My car is not a Ford, but I think he knew before he passed away I am not that car savvy, there are lots of Chevy parts around, and most people around that could help me are more familiar with GM stuff. He chose #31 because Jessie Zogg was #30.
