Career Highlights
Years Racing: 10
Accomplishments:
Most Memorable Racing Moment:
2008 Season's Rear-View Mirror Reflection: Incredible highs and lows: 1 feature win, 5 2nd-place finishes, 6 mechanical failures, 6 rainouts, and a coil that just wouldn't refire at a $2,500 to win show that could have been mine. That's racing - 90 percent luck, 10 percent skill!
2009 Outlook: With two races in and two feature wins as of May 30th, the season looks bright. With a little luck and hard work, this could be my best season yet.
Comments: I'd like to thank Lucas Oil for the continued support. All the synthetic line of products that I've used in my racecar have been excellent in lubricating everything from the motor to the ball joint and the rear end gears, and all signs of wear have disappeared. Thanks, Steve!
