How did you get started in Crown Vic racing?

I was 16 and started buying police cars from my local police department. To drive them on the street. The following year crown Vic’s started taking off at tracks near me.

Why did you choose Crown Vic racing?

I was a fan in the stands and saw them going around the track and I just knew I had to try it.

Racing experience and biggest highlight

Been crown Vic racing since 2022, biggest highlight was when I was running Harris speedway had a good run but ran out of luck got put into the wall and thought we had a bad night. Until I pulled in my driveway and my phone starts ringing, and it’s Greg Biffle on the other end of the phone. Telling me what a run I had, and he wanted me to come race with him at his ranch at triple B 100

Toughest track and why

Toughest track was definitely triple b 100

People who helped your racing journey

My cousin Joe really helped me get started. He passed early this year. It’s took a toll on our race team, but we aren’t going to quit. My mom dad, grandparents, uncle don, my brother, Tyler, Caleb, Nathan, Russell Kral, and my fiancé for letting me do all this non- sense and late nights in the “shop”

Fun fact fans might not know

Fun fact- I took the car I was driving to high school and what little money I had and made it my race car 😆

Goals for the season

My goal for this season is 10 wins, a track championship, and just have a good time with everyone that comes and supports.
