| | Career Summary | I began my racing career racing at Dawson County Speedway in Lexington, NE. This was in the Bronco class at the time. We had a lot of problems my first few years and never completed a full season. When Thayer County Speedway opened up I began running there in the Bronco class. They eventially went to IMCA Stock Cars and I have been running there ever since with great success. I ran once also at the Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE (won the heat race and finished 5th in A Feature) during a USMTS Show. I ran the season at Junction Motor Speedway the year they opened. I guess one could say my racing career has come full circle now. Thayer County Speedway has now closed for the 2007 season, and I am planning on returning to where it all began for me at the Dawson County Raceway. Hopefully this time around it will work out a little better than when I began my career there.
| | Racing Goals | To win a 2nd Track Championship, and to be known as a fast, good, and clean driver.
| | Other Interesting Team Information | The #64 has been in my family since the 60's when my father built his first racecar in Hastings, Nebraska.
