He loves the challenge physically & mentally of competing against seasoned much older professional veteran race car drivers and along with winning, he absorbs everything he learns while competing against them and applies it each race. He trains exhaustively, tests and sharpens his racecraft learning something new everyday at the race shop and each time he climbs into his Racecar. What he loves most his sport is the process of learning then applying what he learned and winning with it!
There is not just one athlete that inspires him, but several top athletes that are best in their game but off the field or out of the car they give back to those in need. NASCAR’s Kyle Busch & Joey Logano, NFL’s Ed Reed, Evan Oglesby & Gary Brown. He says: Winning+Helping Those In Need=MISSON ACCOMPLISHED
At only 14 years old, winning well over 100 races and 18 Championships is an extremely proud moment for any father but when your 14 year old son founds a full 501c3 charity-www.raceforkids.com and raises money, much needed food, clothing shoes & school supplies for children and families in need and helping so many organizations raise awareness through participating in his sport with every lap he races… that’s my proudest moment!
