Driver Information

My racing career began at twelve years old in 2018. My dad put together a 2001 GRT 602 dirt late model for me to start in. He had raced this car for most of my life so it was sentimental. Dad and I put the car together with mostly spare parts. I purchased my first motor, helmet and Haans device which wiped my savings account out. I finished second in points my rookie year as well as picked up four top five finishes and four top ten finishes. Making memories racing with my dad as my competitor was priceless.

During 2019, my second season, I picked up my first two feature wins at Friendship Motor Speedway in Elkin, NC. I had fifteen top five finishes and thirteen top ten finishes that year.

In 2020 I captured my first points championship and eight feature wins at Ararat Thunder Raceway in Ararat, VA in the 602 late model division. I had fourteen top five finishes that season.

The 2021 season was the first year pulling double duty in 604 and 602 Late Models. Finished the season as the championship winner for both divisions at Ararat Thunder Raceway

My 2022 season was a new adventure as I joined the Blue Ridge Outlaw Latemodels traveling series. I picked up one win, thirteen top five finishes, nine top ten finishes and visited eight new tracks. Our team learned a lot this season.

I have a family that pulls together to support my love of racing
