DIVISIONS COMPETED IN:

Go Karts (1996-97)
The start of my racing career, I amassed over 10 wins including the prestigious Motorama Indoor show located in Harrisburg, Pa on a limited budget, and schedule.

270 Micro Sprints (1998-2002)
While attending West Virginia University, I had 6 wins during this time period. Racing was difficult, as I would drive home from college on the weekends to race, and then leave right after the races to head back to school for class on Monday. We raced against typical fields of 40 + cars. Not including mechanical failures, we never missed qualifying for a race from 99-01. My father owned the car, which was run on a very small budget due to college expenses. We were always competitive, and enjoyed running at tracks such as Path Valley, Trail-Ways, Hill Valley, Shippensburg, Marion Center and Selinsgrove.

600 Micro Sprints (2003-04)
My first time owning a car, I had 5 wins in two seasons. We mainly raced at Path Valley and Trail-Ways, with occasional stops at Hill Valley. The 03 Season, we blew up 3 engines and had a couple of big wrecks that ended our season early. But our Average finish in the 04 season out of 38 races was 4.55 against average fields counts of 34.

358 Sprints (2005-2010)
Over a 5 year span, we enjoyed racing at Lincoln, Williams Grove, Port Royal, Selinsgrove, Trail-Ways and Hagerstown Speedway.  We finished in the top ten in final points multiple times at both Williams Grove, and Lincoln whenever funding would allow us to race a full season at the venue.   We had two wins at Williams Grove, and one win at Lincoln Speedway.  I was awarded Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Driver, and multiple Sportsmanship Awards from Lincoln Speedway, and the Auto Racing Club of Hagerstown.

Super Sporstman (2009-2010) I drove in the Super Sportsman class for Car Owner Danny Miller and his #55 machine.  In 2009, we won the most races in the division ( 4 races), including the Hub City 50 lap event at Hagerstown Speedway, finished the year 5th in final point standings, and was awarded the Rookie of the year award.  I only ran for half of a season in 2010 before opting leave the ride on good terms, so that I could focus entirely on our family race team's program, in an effort to get me and it back on track

410 Sprints (2011-2012) Recieved Lincoln Speedway Rookie of the Year honors in 2011.  Rookie Season ended early due to injury.
