Driver Information

From the roar of engines to the quiet hum of a long haul, my life has always been steeped in horsepower and family. Born into a lineage of engine builders, my grandfather's legacy sparked a passion for speed, ignited further by my father and uncle's kart racing exploits. At the age of nine, I took my own turn behind the wheel, forging a connection with the track that shaped my youth. While I've traded the kart for the cab, I'm now a truck-driving family man, embracing the open road as a dedicated husband and father of two. The spirit of competition and the love for machines remain, channeled into providing for my family and carrying on the tradition of hard work and dedication passed down through generations. We're back at the track, not for me, but to ignite the same passion in my kids, hoping they'll experience the thrill and camaraderie that shaped my own childhood. It's about passing down a legacy, one lap at a time.
