How did you get started in Crown Vic racing?

I had been racing late models the past several years and noticed a lot of the tracks around starting to run Crown Vics. They looked like a lot of fun so I built my first one, a 1999 Police Interceptor and ran at Ararat Bullring 2 times last year. That got me hooked.

Why did you choose Crown Vic racing?

2026 I haven’t run anything but a Crown Vic. I enjoy racing just about anything but being able to just do basic maintenance each week, load it on the trailer and go to the track by myself is a major plus when you don’t have a lot of help.

Racing experience and biggest highlight

I started running Ucars back in 06-07 at Motor Mile Speedway. I went to Wythe Raceway after that and have been running dirt ever since. I won the track championship and rookie of the year in UCar 2008 at Wythe. I bought a late model in 2009 and have been running them until this day when time allows. I have over 30 career wins in UCars, late models and Crown Vics. I have won several special events but nothing I would consider a highlight YET.

Car nickname or setup details

No nicknames for any of my cars. Setup is as basic as it gets, I don’t change much of anything. Get comfortable with the car, learn how it likes to be driven and drive it.

Toughest track and why

This is a hard one. I would say Wythe Raceway has always been a tough one for me. Not so much that it’s hard to race or drive it but it’s hard to pass. It’s such a high speed momentum track that you basically have to hope someone makes a mistake so you can get under them without scrubbing a bunch of speed off.

People who helped your racing journey

First and foremost that would be my mom and dad. They instilled the love of racing in me and my brother from an early age. I have fond memories of going to tracks all over NY when I was a kid watching our car race. My dad has always helped anyway he can and continues to do so when time allows.

Fun fact fans might not know

A little self promotion here. I own a used car and powersports dealership in Willis, VA called Buffalo Mountain Motorsports. We’ve been in business over 5 years and have gained a reputation for being different from other dealers, working hard to help our customers, no pressure sales. I invite anyone to check us out online on social media or our website www.bmmusedcars.com or better yet come for a visit!

Goals for the season

I didn’t really set any goals other than having fun and being competitive wherever I decided to race and I’ve accomplished both of those. I’ve got 5 wins so far this year and felt like I would have had more if not for some mechanical issues or driver mistakes but overall I’m very happy with the 2026 season so far.

Shoutouts to sponsors, crew, or supporters
