Biggest moment in racing:

My first two weekends in kart racing when I was 11. The first day I ran second, the next week I won the feature. I'd like to thank my family for giving me the opportunity to do the one thing that Ive wanted to do since I was 2 years old, drive race cars.

Thanks...

I've also got to thank my crew, Matt Kendall, Jeff Herbert, and Mike Thompson, for taking their time away from their lives to help me by setting up the car. Those guys are the best in the business and I couldn't do it without them. Ive got to thank the Survive Institute and Brookville IGA for helping with the bills. And I'd like to thank both Allen Ruppenthal from ERC and Larry and Scott Fasse from www.speedpartz.com for opening their shops and teaching me about the mini sprints, and for all of the help on the phone and at the track. There is no way that this series is where it is at today without you guys and your effort. I had a great time in 2006 and I am looking forward to the 2007 season.
