Other Than Dirt Driver Tracks & Series

| Awards & Accomplishments | In 1999 I began in the Cruiser section of the race track. Thankfully, my brother got a new car and I was lucky enough to get his hand-me-downs. In my first year driving Late Model, I ran third in my third race ever and had numerous Top 10's within a short season. This was the year I blew THREE engines and earned my nickname "Camshaft Casey." My second year started out consistently in the Top 10, but due to major engine problems, we had another short season and decided to work on a brand new car for the 2002 season. This was decided after I blew two more engines. 2002 was, unfortunately, another short season. I ran in the Top 5 and was plagued again with engine failures. I kept up the tradition and blew two more engines. So... we are definitely looking for an engine sponsor. :) If I can keep them from blowing up, there's Features to be won!
| | Career Summary | I grew up watching my dad and Uncle Lenny race. I have always been obsessed with motors and racing (after lighting my windowsill on fire and racing down the stairs, it became an addiction). I started in Go-Karts and my big brother started racing in the Street Stock division. It grew rapidly from there and before I knew it, I was in my brother's old car driving 90 mph in a circle!
| | Racing Goals | To race 25 laps with the same engine! And advance to a one-engine program throughout the year! I have the car and abilities to take the car to the front. However, my engines don't seem to like that idea.
| | Other Interesting Team Information | Well, interestingly enough, I met my favorite person doing my favorite thing. On Driver's Appreciation Night, while signing autographs, I saw the most beautiful woman. Now she's my wife and I couldn't be happier (unless I had a brand new engine...)! Ha Ha!
