How and where did you become involved in racing?
My first race was in Street Stocks at Brewerton Speedway in 1981. My dad was a big force in my decision to race. I did a lot of demo derbies when I was younger.

Describe your most humorous moment in racing:
When Les Hubbard, Timmy Hearn, Sean, & myself were standing around waiting for the line ups, & not paying attention to them, when my wife came over, & started asking everyone if we were here to race or gab? Everyone started running to their cars like they were lit on fire. After that, they all started calling her the pit boss. It was funny to watch those guys run.

Why do you race at Brewerton Speedway?
I race here because it is a great track to run at. Every driver is treated very well here, and are informed about everything. Harvey, & his family are great people. The track also is usually in good shape. Also most of the drivers, & their pit crews are pretty good people. Almost always willing to help if called upon.

What are your most memorable moments in racing? Championships / Big Wins?
When my dad and I finished 1,& 2 in one of the features. Last year when Sean Lias and I finished 1, & 2 in the Dean Hubbs Memorial Race, & when I rolled my car last year, & still finished 3rd in the heat race. when I pulled into the pits without my roof, everyone from all around the pits came over to see if I was o.k., & to offer their assistance. Special thanks to Les Hubbard's pit crew for their help. My son, wife, & myself could never have gotten the car done without them.

What do you do when you are not racing and/or in the off-season?
I go 4 wheeling, motorcycling, bowling, hunting, go on wine tours, house, & yard upkeep & get the racecar ready for the next season.

Comments / Is there anything else you would like the fans to know about you, the team, or your sponsors?
I think the fans at Brewerton are great people, & I love racing for them. I hope this will be the year I finally win a feature.
