Driver Information
I grew up around cars have always loved to go fast and just never really estranged from that. I was born and raised in Salem Indiana going to thunder valley raceway to watch the demos and hornets and such. I still currently reside in Salem. I have been racing since 2022 officially. I ran the scrapper/smack talker class last year with my brother Michael Phillips. Michael gave me the first opportunity I had to race ever in his Ford Five hundred “911", I then was gifted my own '91 Accord by Michael. I ran the wheels off that car till it came to a halting end with a wreck. Michael then gifted me another '89 civic. I finished the season with that civic and still currently have it. I purchased a crown Victoria in late February of '24 after seeing Michael have the time of his life among a few other really good friends that race that class I am close with as well, I knew I had to get one and get deeper into it. I dug deep with the help of my fiancé Dakota Miller, my brother Michael Phillips, my father in law Chad Munk along side my mother in law Karen Munk, Cody Street, American Rental scottsburg (Cierra Lewis), Deep South Cleaning (Tyler Dell, Shelby Dell), Fabwelds (Chad Munk), William with Weaponspro Salem Indiana, Gh8st 959 Racing, Chris Wilson (Mexican Mr FixIt), and tons of others. Racing is a dream I've had for a long time growing up watching Dale and Dale Jr. it's just something that grows on you. I thank everyone the fans, the sponsors, the tracks, and most importantly the family of mine that supports me through it all.
