How and where did you become involved in racing?
While wrenching for my brother Rich on a Pure Stock at Fulton. He tossed me his firesuit and said go hot lap it! The rest as they say is history!.

Describe your most humorous moment in racing:
We were running real late for a special race at Can-Am. We showed up in time to jump on the back of the feature while still hooking up my belts, and with one glove, we went out and won the race.

Why do you race at Brewerton Speedway?
It's a drivers track, two totally different ends of the track. The fans are the best any where. I haven't raced there a lot lately but have had many people ask when are you coming back? I'm back.

What are your most memorable moments in racing? Championships / Big Wins?
Racing with some drivers that are no longer with us, Dean Hubbs, Skip Pabis, and Steve Bidwell. Gone but not forgotten. Watching my brother Dane win at the "Victoria" with my mom there to see him do it!

What do you do when you are not racing and/or in the off-season?
Boating, Motorcycling, sking, snowmobiling, and spending time with the family!

Comments / Is there anything else you would like the fans to know about you, the team, or your sponsors?
I hope they cheer for us to win our 50th IMCA feature win this year, we are at 49. Mike Capozza and I would like dedicate this season to the memory of JJ Michaels and Ed Graves.
