Other Than Dirt Driver Tracks & Series

| Awards & Accomplishments | 1 Feature win in Cruisers with my dad as gas man on the 4th of July, 1997 at Wright County Speedway in Clairion, Iowa.
| | Career Summary | My uncle raced since the mid 70's and I grew up watching him in IMCA Mods. Got my first go kart when I was 12. Won my first race that year. Raced it for two years, then started to help a freind's dad on his car. Have been hooked ever since. Later that year they started to build their own Hobby and Stock Car chassis as Dixon Racing Chassis out of Webster City Iowa. I helped build cars until I joined the Army in 94. After getting out in 96 I raced go-karts for another year but couldn't afford those money pits so bought a used Cruiser car. Ran it until I got my Econo Stock finished to run in Webster City and the rest is history. This year starts a new chapter. Moving up to the 360 Limited Mod class should be fun!
| | Racing Goals | To win the IMCA Super Nationals in the Sport Mod class, then move up to bigger and better things.
