A huge highlight of my career happened in July 2009 when my manager called to inform me that Turner Motorsports wanted to sign me to run USARacing Pro Cup for them in 2010. Being 15 years old and having a race team ask you to race their equipment in a high profile series like USAR Pro Cup leaves you speechless!! I have had the good fortune of doing a lot of things and meeting a lot of people to this point in my life, but without being strapped in a race seat none have been bigger than that phone call. I will never forget the moment or the people involved!

Specifically as I mentioned as my greatest achievement, winning the World Series of Asphalts was amazing. I had only been racing Late Models for six months when my team entered me in the World Series to get more seat time and practice. Being 13 years old, I actually was not supposed to be entered. (The age limit starts at 14, but the promoters allowed me in based on my racing resume and the fact that I had won my first Late Model race 4 months and 17 days after turning 13. The first ever Late Model win came at Lanier National Speedway the second time I ever raced my Super Late Model.) My competition at the World Series was a lot of guys much older than me, many who had been racing longer than I had been alive. There were six races during the week. We started 16th the first night and finished 6th. We followed that with 3 wins in a row, a 4th and a 3rd. (I have to admit, we were points racing the last 2 nights and didn't take many chances.) All of that resulted in me winning the 42nd Annual World Series of Asphalt ASA/Crate Late Model Championship. I will absolutely never forget that week!! Winning at New Smyrna did more for me than just giving me a bunch of trophies to take home. The team's success at New Smyrna allowed me to meet a lot of people in the racing industry that I might have never met or would have had to wait for a long time to get to be around and know.

In July 2007 I was asked to appear in the "Where Will They Be" article in the Sports Illustrated double issue that always features the "Where Are They Now" article. It was really cool, because included in the "Where Are They Now" article was Richard Petty! On July 30, 2008 I was asked to sign a management contract by Motorsports Management International. That was a huge event in my racing career! Then, I was contacted about being included in the NASCAR Media Group production of "NASCAR Confidential - The Next Generation" that was produced for the SPEED Channel. In addition, there have been many other magazine articles, TV show and radio shows in which I have been included. All of those things are great and a big part of getting to make and meet fans, and I am very grateful for the opportunities. However, none of it is as much fun as climbing behind the wheel of a race car and going racing!!

I started racing quarter midgets at age 8. From quarter midgets, I progressed through mini-cups, bandoleros and Pro Challenge. When I turned 13, I raced both legend's cars and Late Models for just under 3 months before parking the legend's car. (We raced in 14 legend's races during that short period and accumulated 3 feature wins!) From there, it's been all Late Model and Super Late Model racing until getting to run the last three races of the 2009 USAR Pro Cup series in preparation for the 2010 season and our run for the championship!
