Winners Circle Racing NASCAR development team, I was not picked to join. I am however, very proud of the fact that I was one of 36 drivers to be picked to tryout out from over 740 resumes. There are other ways into NASCAR and I will find it!

was a great year. I had 8 wins between the heats and features and I came in third in the season points. I could have been a contender for the championship if it weren't for the mechanical failures.

I have also been invited to California for a driver shootout. Ron Suttons Winners Circle has received over 600 resumes and of those resumes, he pick a couple dozen of us to come to California for a shootout. If I am one of the lucky ones to get picked from there, I could be part of a NASCAR development team.

I has a great rookie season in mini cups in 2008.  I had a feature win at Rockford Speedway in Rockford Illinois, I was consistantly in the top 5, and I would have had the rookie of the year award if it weren't for the 3 dnf's and the mechanical breakdown.  (that's racin')  I finished 3rd overall in points in the tristate series and 7th overall in points in the Central States Series.  You can view the entire season and where I finished in each race at www.supercupracing.com

I am looking forward to taking the championship in 2009.

This was my last season in karting.  2008 I will start competing in stock car racing.  I hope I am as successful in stock cars as I was in karting.

This past weekend was the last race in the regional Route 66 Series at Pevely MO.  I qualified 4th, prefinal finish was 4th and final finish was 4th.  Not much passing was to be had as everybody basically was equal in speed and talent and remained in the positions the whole weekend.



This finish gave me 3rd in overall points for the series.

This past weekend I finished the last race of the series in the MWSS at New Castle Motorsports Park.  I came in 9th after having a really bad kart all day.



My overall points in this series is 5th place.

This weekend we raced in New Castle Indiana.  I qualified 6th, finished the prefinal in 4th and also finished the final in 4th.  Good weekend.

I took my first ride in a super mini cup this weekend.  It was awesome!  If you don't know what that is, it is a 1/2 scale NASCAR cup car.  That is what I will be riding next year.  I will be getting out of karting after this season.  Check out my pics to see the car.


 

This weekend was awesome!!  It was the Mid West Sprint Series at Norway and I qualified 5th.  In the prefinal I moved from 5th to 1st and in the last lap of the prefinal, me and another guy trying to go into the same corner at the same time wiped out and I ended up finishing the prefinal in 4th.  The final was an awesome event,  I went from 4th to 1st and me and another guy were batteling for the 1st spot for about 4 or 5 laps until I finally took the 1st spot for good.  I won the final and I had fast time in the prefinal and final.  What a great weekend!!
