• Started racing at 7 years old, with a car my dad got me for my 7th birthday.

 

• First car was a microsprint with a 6.5HP engine, raced at Grand Bend Speedway, and oval track where the microsprints are held wide open, teaching about carrying momentum

 

• Raced micro sprints from 2012 to 2016, winning the championship in 2016

 

• Moved up to Jr. Late Models at Grand Bend and Sauble Speedway in 2017 and 2018. These cars have no springs or shocks and a 9HP engine.

• 2019 was first season of real stock cars in a 4 cylinder, 170HP Ford Mustang Mini Stock at Flamboro Speedway and Sauble Speedway.

 

• Won a couple of races in 2019, continuing in Mini Stocks in 2020 winning 3 of 5 races.

 

• Made Late Model debut at Flamboro Speedway for Frost Fest in October, Flamboro's season finale. Ran top 10 most of the race until a rear end gear broke with 5 laps to go.

 

• 2021 will be the first full season in Late Models driving a Chevrolet Camaro, with a 450HP 604 Chev crate engine. This is the top short track class at tracks around Ontario.
