How and where did you become involved in racing?
I started helping my father in the late 1980's and started driving full seasons after helping the 22x of Ken Gamlen.

Describe your most humorous moment in racing:
After making an unsportsmanlike hit on another driver because he was cutting me off and bumping me, finding out it was a friend of mine's dad, and he only had one eye.

Why do you race at Brewerton Speedway?
It has the highest average skill level of drivers of any track I've ever seen. And winning a weekly event here is harder than most nationals.

What are your most memorable moments in racing? Championships / Big Wins?
2004 Season when I got my 1st feature win ever. Then went on to rack up 4 total including one at Brewerton. And placing 4th in the Ohio Gold Cup (Deerfield) after being sent to the rear of the field no less than 5 times.

What do you do when you are not racing and/or in the off-season?
Is there ever really an off-season? Or just a break to rebuild?
