1. How did you get your start in racing?

My dad showed me a Quarter Midget on my fifth birthday, and I said, “Can I please get it?” I was surprised with it and I’ve just been racing ever since.  

2. How did you pick the number 55

It was just off the top of my head randomly. My dad was number five, so I picked 55.

3. Who is your biggest inspiration?

Kyle Larson

4. What is your favorite racing memory?

Winning my first ever Legend Car race at Auburndale Speedway this year at Winter Nationals.

5. How do you get focused before a race?

I just don’t talk to that many people. I sit in the race car and think about how the race is going to go.

6. What is your favorite track?

Huntsville Speedway. It was my old home track. Just the banking and speed at the track is what I love.

7. When you finish a Bandolero race and immediately have to start a Legend Car race, what do you tell yourself to quickly prepare for a completely different style of car?

Don’t hit the gas as hard as a Bandolero, [and] just remember how I drove in practice and stuff. I’ve kinda gotten used to it already.

8. You’ve dominated the past three Spring Nationals in Nashville in your Bandolero. How does it feel to continue to win even when the best drivers from across the country are now in your race?

It feels amazing. Nashville is my home track. I live 20 minutes away from there, and for some reason that’s one of my best tracks that I’m good at. The competition is very hard, but it’s crazy how I’ve won a lot of races for the past three spring series.

9. Right now, what is more fun to drive, a Bandolero or a Legend Car?

A Legend Car. They’re more fun. Just the speed rates, and just how much you have to handle the car. I think it's more fun than a bandolero.

10. What is your favorite season of the year

Summer

11. If you could travel anywhere in the world and race, where would you go?

Wisconsin. They have some of the most Bandolero races and they have a lot of cool tracks up there. I’ve always wanted to race up there.  

12. What are your 2025 racing goals?

To be an Outlaw 2025 [INEX] National Champion, try to get top 30 in Young Lions points and just finish the season with a good reputation.

13. What's your ultimate goal in motorsport?

To make it to NASCAR and be a NASCAR champion. That's just been my dream ever since I’ve been a little kid.
