How I got started in racing, and how long I've been racing:Actually I was born into racing. My dad used to race when Jackson International Speedway was open. And he was racing the night I was born.
How I got the car number:I got the number from #91 SUPR Late Model driven by Donald Watson. I helped him out one night when he was alone. And he gave me a t-shirt. :) And when it came time for me to race, I decided to use his number.
What I like most about racing:The speed and knowing that you are in control of something that is almost out of control.
My most memorable moment:My first heat race win. Started outside pole against Glendale Shoemake, Brent Ainsworth and others and pretty much walked off and left everybody. I won that race by a straightaway.
My most embarrassing moment:The first time I had ever been on the track I went down the front straightaway and into turn 1 and got in the gas and I did a 360.
Who I admire most in racing and why:Billy Collette. He always helped me from day one and no its something I always want to do is out run him.
My future plans and goals in racing:Just to race. I would love to win just one race. But that all comes with time.
