1. How did you get your start in racing?

I started in go-karts when I was 11 years old at United Karting in Maryland.

2. How did you get your number?

I've always watched NASCAR since I was little and Danny Hamlin was always my dad's favorite driver, so obviously I grew up loving Denny and we've been lifetime fans. So I've been number 11 because of him.

3. Who is your biggest inspiration within racing?

Yeah, definitely Denny. I always just looked up to him and also my dad, like my dad's just always talked about racing and he's the one that got us into it, and thanks to my parents, we are where we are today.

4. What is your favorite racing memory?

Probably the day I got my Legend Car. We tested at Dillon with Willie, and he brought the car out there and it was just a really cool experience. You know, we've been in go-karts for like five years at that point, andit was just cool to get into something else, like a car with a roll cage, like really feel like a race car.

5. How do you measure success while racing?

I try to be as humble as I can be. I've never been like one of those kids that comes off and just [bragging] about anything. I've always really tried to focus more on being the total package for racing, trying to be the kid that can do everything to make it.

6. What’s been your favorite track you’ve raced on?

Definitely Charlotte Motor Speedway, the ROVAL™.

7. If you could race on one track in the world, what would it be?

Oh, that's tough. I'd have to say Daytona 500 in a Cup car.

8. What are your racing goals for 2026 and beyond?

We're actually gonna run Semi-Pro in the Asphalt Nationals here next weekend at Dillon. So I'm going to try and run Semi-Pro just to get a little jump on next year because we got to move up. Hopefully we can do good in that race and we had the classic at, I think it's southern, the Thanksgiving race, so we're just trying to do good in that and then just going in next year with some good confidence and see where it takes us. Hopefully I’ll be getting a late model by the time I'm 18.

9. What is the biggest lesson racing has taught you?

How to do what we're doing today (interviewing), just talk to people and just have like a normal conversation with a lot of guys at the track an like making the videos and stuff. It’s taught me how to open up my personality a little more.

10. What are your hobbies outside of racing?

I like to ride my mountain bike a lot and, definitely just do a lot of outside stuff. I like to weld. I've been working on that. I also like hunting with my dad and my brother.
