Best Racing Memory/ies:
1. In 2001 I had the opportunity to race 3 to 4 nights a week in an attempt to chase for a Super Stock National Points Championship. I did have a very successful year in 01 but most of all the best memories come from all the people I met and friends that were made traveling around the area.
2. Having the opportunity to race against one of the best talents I have ever seen on a local level and being able to call him a friend. (The Late John Seitz)

Racing History:
Racing goes a ways back for me as my father raced cars and demoed them as I was a child. I was involved in snowmobile racing and then at the age of 15 he allowed me behind the wheel of a race car in Hallack, MN. I guess as they say, “the rest is history”. I’ve been involved in racing ever since.
