| | Career Summary | My Uncle Corey Van Winkle raced, and the Van Winkle side of the family has a machine shop in Cairo. They have always been into racing so I grew up around it and finally decided to race myself. I started drag racing in my late teen years but had always wanted to race dirt track.
| | Racing Goals | To have fun and maybe win a Points Championship.
| | Other Interesting Team Information | As funny as it may seem to some, I really had no idea on what number I wanted. One night as my wife and I were watching our favorite movie, Days of Thunder, she jokingly suggested 46 like Cole Trickle, and that sounded as good as any number.
