Influences in Racing:  I`ve always loved racing , probably watching my uncle (Randy Earl) go from an up and comer in S/S to dominating the pro stocks helped me believe I could race.

Race day Superstitions: Stop in Athens at the beer store..

Sponsors: I race as I can afford it, I have no money paying sponsors, having a family racing has to be a hobby not a life for me. I love the lake as much as racing so I split my time as much as I can.

Goals For Upcoming Season: I have to win! I can`t stand finishing 2nd.I try to race as hard and clean as I can, my goal is to race part time and beat the guys running 2 nights a week.

Most Memorable Moment: in Racing Winning my first heat race in my old  home built Cutlass that used to be my street car,built in my yard(no garage)by myself with really nothing but an angle grinder and a Stick welder.

Additional Comments: Just want to say thanks to everyone that supports me and takes the time to talk to me about racing. I`am proof you can come out of the stands and race with a little hard work and a dream. I drove 1000`s of laps watching stock cars before I ever truly raced, I didn`t start till I was 34 years old. You can race to i`ll even help you out and sell you my car...Have a great year enjoy the races.
