Driver Information
I'm a 40yr old man trying to live out my dreams! I've been a fan of dirt track racing literally my whole life. I grew up going to races at Kankakee County Speedway watching all the greats race. My dad raced at Kankakee and Sugar island raceway before I was born, but I've seen the photos lol. My uncle raced in the street stock division and Imods and after his unfortunate passing It pushed me to get a car. My ultimate goal has always been to race in the street stock division, but didn't seem to think it was the best to jump straight into. So in 2020 I bought a hornet to get out and get my feet wet. I chose the number 44E because my uncles number was 44 and I painted my car to match his color scheme. I've now gone with the black color because my cars name is the Raven. Maybe next year I'll move up but for now I still have goals to accomplish in this class.
