Best Racing Experience: Winning my first cup race (June 2007) at Plymouth Speedway in IN with my Dad, Grandpa and Godfather Chuck there as my crew.
Worst Racing Experience: A driver from IN tried to fit between me (outside the pole) and another driver (in the pole) on a re-start. He caused all of us to spin. I went straight into the wall, which rocketed my car almost six feet off the ground while spinning. When I came to on the ground, I was hit again and went flying in the air—again! I thought it was never going to stop. Miraculously, the car wasn’t badly damaged. We pounded out the chassis and competed in the main event. I finished fourth with a bent up car.
