Winchester 400
This weekend at the Winchester 400 was looking o be one of the team’s best performances of the year. After being one of the fastest cars all through practice and qualifying second we all had very high hopes for the race. At the initial start I fell into second behind the pole sitter and was content to follow him until a perfect opportunity came to pass him. The opportunity never came and...

9/20/08
My first visit to ORP (O’Rielly Raceway Park) in Clermont, Indiana will definitely not soon be forgotten. After Friday night practice the whole team was feeling pretty good about the weekend ad thought we had a chance and the podium, but unfortunately his was a false sense of security and we were not as good off as we hoped. We were still fast in the...

Blizzard Series Round Three
Heart Breaker – Last night at Five Flags Speedway was one of the most disappointing races of my late model career. After qualifying on pole, leading the opening laps and then leading again later in the race with by far the best car on the track, I was collected in a wreck caused by another competitor with only five laps to go running third.
After a fairly frustrating practice on Friday no one on...
Viper Series Round Three
We started this weekend just like every other at South Alabama Speedway, taking the trip down a day early so we could get in a few extra hours of practice Friday night before the race. Luckily we did this because every car that raced on Saturday was also there Friday night practicing. Practice was definitely frustrating because just like every other time we have been to Opp, we just...

Blizzard Series Round 3
As soon as we showed up at Five Flags Speedway on Thursday afternoon it was obvious that this was going to be a pretty big race with many good cars. Even though it was just a Thursday practice session, there was already about fifteen or twenty cars present. We were good through Thursday practice, but not great and continually made minor changes to improve the car and by the...

Round three of the Thursday Thunder Series at Atlanta Motor Speedway definitely had its ups and downs. After hot laps it was obvious the number 91 semi pro car needed some improvements to be competitive and a front running car. In between hot laps and the heat race we made some changes that were going to hopefully fix the loose condition coming off the corners. Once we had made the changes to the...

After a week away from the racetrack I was ready to get back in the drivers seat! Even though it wasn’t my super late model car I would be strapping into this week, I was just as eager to get to the racetrack. My first experience in a legends car was definitely one to remember. The night started off with a five lap practice session where I just wanted to get comfortable in the car and familiar...
