Driver Information

I've always desired to race, mostly a 410 sprint car, since I was a young kid. As a third-generation driver, I began racing in a Jr. 2 go kart at the age of 11. Tuesday nights were spent at my home track, Beaverdam raceway Wi, and Wednesdays were spent traveling to GSR Kartway Clintonville, Wi to gain additional seat time. I competed in two classes at the 2019 Midwest Kart Nationals in Mascoutah, Illinois: Jr. 2 Pro and Jr. 2 Pro clone. After rolling during one of my races and having my kart fall on to me, I finished second in my Jr. 2 pro class and third in the Jr. 2 pro clone class overall. Soon after I wrapped up racing, I sold everything I had, including my Demon chassis-the first kart chassis I had ever owned-and my Kinetic chassis. Then, since racing was becomingless challenging, I began looking for something new to challenge myself. I purchased an IMCA Northern Sport mod, which was eventually stripped down and placed in a car that was being taken to a scrap yard because the frame had several broken welds. This prompted me to look for another car, and I eventually found one from a friend of my dad's who was selling his car. I then purchased my first IMCA Northern Sport mod that I drove on a track after taking it apart and placing it back together which was my Outlaw. I intend to pursue my racing career and, if I reach that goal, I hope to drive a 410 sprint car.

Finishing a Karting race on the last 3 laps on a flat right rear tire that I knew about, also after rolling my kart my air cleaner fell off and I was dramatically pointing at them to go faster to put if back on so I could go race again.
