Other Than Dirt Driver Tracks & Series
|
| Awards & Accomplishments | Numerious wins in Outlaw Hobby Stock Class. 1st IMCA Stock Car win in 2006. Best Appearing Car Awards at Fairmont Car Show in 2004, 2005, and 2006.
| | Career Summary | I really don't have much of a summary in racing compared to a lot of the "veterans" out there. I'm just a guy that races one night a week and can't believe that I am as competitive as I am, simply because, before racing, I was not a guy that worked in the shop all that much. Now you can't get me out of there! LOL!
| | Racing Goals | Visit as many big name races as I can before I give up this sport. Not so much because I think I can win them, but more to experience being involved in those types of races.
| | Other Interesting Team Information | I guess the one thing that stands out for me is that people think I am this guy that is anal about reskinning his car every year and making it appear immaculate. If they only knew that I was the type to rush through the project because I'm like a kid in a candy store and can't wait to see the finished product. If they look close at it, it's the same as any other racers' cars with the flaws and such. The one thing I do agree on though is that I most likely have my car reskinned and complete before most. As soon as the season is over I get to work and have the car usually complete within a month, and then enjoy the cold winter months inside, nice and warm! LOL!
