For everyone who has followed my racing career since being readily available on here. All you’ve seen is that racing has not been kind to me these last few years. Or really, for as long as I can remember at this point. The bad moments have beyond surpassed the good, and it has been rough for all involved.
Working day in and day out still trying to be encouraged and excited, listening to the outside noise of people telling me to give it up, sleepless nights and hot sweaty shop days being exhausted just make it to the track.
I cannot tell you how many times it just felt easier to throw in the towel than it did to keep showing up.
I was raised to always give 110% in everything we did. Maybe it’s just me being hard headed, but I mentally cannot shake the thought of giving up on something knowing that I can do better. I want to be able to look back and know I’ve stepped away from racing on my own terms and that I didn’t let the car or track determine when I’ve had enough, I want to be able to feel proud of what i’ve done.
At first, I went to the race track with my family and my dad. When i couldn’t do that anymore, I kept going on my own, figuring out how to myself. This has been my whole life. Keeping me grounded and feeling close to my father. Now that I’m a father myself I can’t raise my children with the same mind set of never giving up if I myself have actually gave up. After almost two years of not racing weekly and long conversations I have decided to come back to the track in 2027. With the goal in mind to go out and have fun, enjoy the moments and to teach my son and daughter how to see an objective through.
For 2027 we are going to try to make running Friday and Saturday shows for me and John work.
