Other Than Dirt Driver Tracks & Series
|
| Awards & Accomplishments | 2006 - Finished 6th in Points at Junction Motor Speedway.
| | Career Summary | I started in 1973 pulling weeds at York Raceway. I bought my first car in 1975 and raced at Mid-Continent in Doniphan. Raced in 1976 at David City, Hastings, Mid-Continent, and Midwest Speedway in Lincoln. In 1977 I raced Mid-Continent, Hastings, and Midwest, winning at Mid-Continent and Hastings. Then I quit racing for 29 years. I bought a car in 2006 and raced at Junction Motor Speedway. The track was too close not to race. The class I raced in during the 70's was Hobby Stock. Because of my age now, I decided to run in the Stock Car class.
| | Racing Goals | To win again and beat the best at JMS. Finish every race. Load the car in one piece. Most of all, be content in racing again after I thought my racing hobby was done.
| | Other Interesting Team Information | I chose #55 because Ardean Buller had that number and he was one of my favorite drivers in the 70's. Also I would like to make it to 55 years old before I take a permanent leave of absense (four more years left - eeeee-hah!).
