Who are your heroes?First and foremost, my father. As a kid he could build anything. He has strength and wisdom beyond his years and is without a doubt the reason I race today. Doug Wolfgang—I have seen this man do some amazing things in a sprint car. One in particular is when he showed up at Red River Valley Speedway in Fargo, ND, for an Outlaw show in 1992. He proved that you didn't need a flashy rig or a ton of cash to be dominant. Who are some of your influences?My family and friends have my back each and every night, even when I stink it up out on the track. They take the good and the bad and having them behind me motivates me even more to do my best. Tom, my older brother, believes in me sometimes more than I even believe in myself. He is always pushing me to be more competitive and try different things with the car and while out on the track. He is behind my every move and helps me keep my competitive edge. Greg Nikitenko a good friend and fellow sprint car driver, has helped take my career to the next level. The knowledge I gained while in the pits with him in 2004 led to me starting in a 360 car in 2005. I run hard, sometimes maybe too hard, and Greg's suggestions have helped me channel that effort into a presentable package. |
