Goals
My goal in racing is to prgress in full-bodied stock cars, and hopefully make it to a national stock car touring series in the future. I look forward to the opportunity to drive for an established racing team and represent my marketing partners in the best way possible. I hope to find a team that is looking for a driver who likes to race hard and clean. I also want to continue to be successful in my schoolwork and hope to go to college in the future.
