My racing background

I am a second-generation driver, growing up with my dad racing go-karts, sprint-cars, and Silver Crown cars. In 1996 my dad bought me a go-kart and took me out to the local track to practice. In June of 1997, I started my first race and finished 6th. I have been racing go-karts from then on.
