Driver Information

I have been around racing since I was 4 years old. Growing up at the track running around with friends drivers kids. Then racing everything from bikes to street cars and go carts growing up. My inspiration for driving dirt race cars came from my uncle Richard Anderson who drove the 44c at Fonda Speedway for many years and I also had other inspiration from my childhood best friend Jessica Zemken's father Ray and my father's best friend Brett Hearn with the Dirt modified sportsman and big block modified cars. I believe that with practice I can get a fraction of their success eventually. My age puts me behind of getting to there number of wins but I'll still proceed to get better evey time on the track because of my love for the sport. My personal life i have a great family and very strong woman by my side who give me the confidence to move mountains for our family and our family's success.
