 Awards & Accomplishments
My first year I had recieved 2nd place for the Rookie of the Year honors in 2004 at Buena Vista Raceway in Alta, Iowa racing in the BVR Bomber class.
 
 Career Summary
In 2004 I finished in 17th place with 1 Top 10 all year due to many engine problems. In 2005 I finished 14th in the Final Point Standings, finishing with 3rd and 4th place finishes in heat races and 3 Top 10 finishes in the Features. Yeah, I know, pretty meek, but hey, we're getting better! We had a helmet issue that had forced us to miss five weeks of racing.
 
 Racing Goals
Finish in the Top 5 in the Final Point Standings this year and in 2007 move up to Hobby Stocks.
 
 Other Interesting Team Information
The absolute best way to know we will have an exterely good night is if I eat pizza and drink four litres of Dr. Pepper before we leave, we pull into the pit area just as the pit meeting is wraping up, and we have our dog that we named after our Ford towing vehicle.
