Driver Profile

I live in Elko/New Market. I began racing quarter midgets in 2010. I knew from the very first time I sat in the quarter midget that this was something I wanted to do and that I loved to go fast! I have had the chance to travel to many different tracks in my quarter midget career - we have traveled to Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, and Ohio.
