At what point did you realize this was something you really wanted to commit to? As soon as I could actually race it. I just thought it was the coolest thing ever, and I would come home from school and be out there cleaning my race car and just sitting in the thing. I loved it right from the start.
Over the years, you’ ve had some really remarkable seasons and incredible accomplishments. What are you most proud of? Winning three championships in two years; finishing first and first( Super Stock and Stock) in 2017, then first and second in 2018.

He needed Scotty Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Phil Jackson, the right ownership group. It’ s the whole thing. Those years we did really well, it was the whole thing. We had the best race cars, I was driving as good as anybody else and maybe better, and I had the support of my dad and all of our sponsors. The whole thing clicked; it wasn’ t just one thing.
