What was your most memorable event?Making the A Main at the inaugural Magic City Showdown here in Minot in 2006. We played like heck trying to make the show. We qualified with an ASCS 360 that was built in our own garage a week before the show. We fired the engine about two hours before we hit the track, only having time to check it for leaks and do a quick oil change before loading it in the trailer. A qualifying bobble and a poor heat race set us deep in the field. Luckily I made a pass on the backstretch that got us into the A! However, our night was ended early by a damaged shock. Does there look to be a couple exhausted faces in this picture? What are some of your future goals?I feel that I've been pretty lucky to have made it this far and my goals and dreams keep changing. Next season I hope to turn a few laps at Knoxville Raceway—that place is awesome! I also hope to enter in the 360 Nationals there in 2009. This year I plan to hit more Outlaw events here in the Upper Midwest. My ultimate dream is to travel the country and race with the World of Outlaws. In your eyes, what makes a winner?Anybody not settling for second and anyone who is willing to fail first. Anybody you would like to thank?There's a boatload! First, my wife Annette for not rolling her eyes too much when I'm thinking and talking racecar. Next, my crew who supports my efforts, even when I pick the hottest days of the year to wreck things. I have some pretty loyal sponsors who have been with me for some years now. Without them I wouldn't be able to keep the ball rolling. And of course, thanks to all those when attend sprint car races across the country. Without their support we wouldn't have this wonderful sport that we love. |
