About me: I raced go karts from the age of 7 to 15, and then started racing street stock when I was 16. When I was 16 my year basically consisted of 3 races, with two being at Madison Speedway and one at Viking Speedway. My first race in a street stock was at Viking, where I placed 4th. After doing so, I competed in a full season of racing at Fiesta City in Montevideo during the 2003 season.  In my first season at Monte, I finished 3rd in points, with many heat wins, but no feature wins. In 2004, we decided to build a new MRS chassis, and seemed to pay off. I compteted in 45 events, and rounded out the season with 3 wins, along with a second place finish in points in Fiesta City. In 2005 I was able to accumulate 8 wins in 50 shows in my second year behind the wheel of our MRS street stock.  2006 proved to be a step-up year, finishing 5th in national points, coupling 11 wins, and two track championships at Madison and Canby. This past year I had to step down the amount of shows I was able to run due to a co-op I was completing for my Engineering degree at NDSU. I was working in Gwinner, ND  It didn't seem to slow us  down, competing in 65 shows, finding victory lane 8 times at 5 different tracks in three states, and winning the Western 100.
