Dad started taking me to the races in Jacksonville as soon as I was potty trained. We spent many Friday nights there. He started taking me around to other races a couple years after that. I remember my first WoO race in Pevely when I was real young. It rained and we almost left but I begged to stay and they got the race in but by the time we got home from the race it was getting light. I was hooked on sprint cars from a young age and I was able to spend a lot of time with my dad going to races and still do. I think sprint cars are a big reason why I am close with my dad.
