Car #4 of the season 🫠

Kyle didn’t drive last night, so I got the chance to hop in his car while we wait on the motor for my other car. Kyle worked his butt off all night chasing the setup and giving me the best car possible.

Huge thanks to Kyle Sheard Racing, Jeff Trailer Sales Hill and the whole Jeff Hill team for letting me tag along again, and the PFH Racing crew for all the support and setup help. Really appreciate you guys!

Big shout out to the people & companies who believe in me and help make all this possible! Your belief and support is amazing—- Dive Rescue International - Public Safety, The Bin Blaster, Pitcher Perfect & Yellow Road Realty!!

About last night—Unless you witnessed it or lived it, this probably doesn’t even sound like something that could really happen. But it did. 😳🔥

Practice was great. The car was fast, everything felt good, and we went into qualifying feeling confident.

Then, while I was out qualifying, radio communications told me my car was on fire. I had no idea. Stopped on track and found out just how bad it was. The engine was done, and honestly, I thought our night at Berlin was over.

That feeling is hard to explain. You put so much time, work, and money into getting to the track, and then just like that, it can all be gone.

And then what happened next doesn’t even seem real.

My friend Jeff, who I also race against, absolutely LOVES Berlin. It’s his favorite track.

A little backstory… Last year, one of the guys who drives for him, Kyle, was at Berlin and laid down the fastest track-record lap. Then his engine blew, and he was done for the night. Jeff ended up giving Kyle his car so he could keep competing instead of driving it himself.

Fast forward to last night.

Jeff Trailer Sales Hill had just put down a great qualifying lap at his favorite track. He knew as soon as he saw my dad that my car was done. Of course, he was like, “You’ve got to be kidding me. This is his track!”

But once again, Jeff stepped aside so I could have a chance to race.

He gave me a huge hug, told me not to worry, and then said, “Go drive my car, I love you bro.”

I don’t think I’ll ever forget that moment.

To have someone trust me enough to hand me their car and give me another chance after what had just happened meant more than I can explain.

So I climbed in, strapped in, and went racing.

It definitely wasn’t the night we planned, but it became a night I’ll never forget. What could have ended with us loading up and going home turned into another opportunity to get back on the track and do what I love.

I’m incredibly thankful for Jeff & Britnegh Hill, Dave, Andy, Sarah, Brad, PFH Racing, our sponsors—The Bin Blaster, Dive Rescue International - Public Safety, Pitcher Perfect and everyone else who helped make it possible. And especially thankful for the people who believe in me when things don’t go according to plan.

I finished P5 in heat race and P8 in the feature.

Sometimes racing gives you the best nights. Sometimes it gives you the hardest ones. And sometimes, it gives you a story you’ll be telling forever.

Berlin definitely gave us one to remember!

Last dirt race of the season at Lincoln Park!

We qualified 4th, Started P2 in Heat 2 and finished 4th after some hard racing.

Started P8 in the feature, got spun mid-race due to some aggressive racing on my part. I had to restart at the tail with 6 laps left, I fought back to finish 7th.

Not the result we wanted but I recovered best I could with limited laps left. The car is fast and we’re taking it to Berlin, Michigan on Friday night!

Huge thanks to PFH Racing for the support and patience. The encouragement to help me break bad habits and learn is next level.
My sponsors Pitcher Perfect, The Bin Blaster, Dive Rescue International - Public Safety— thanks for letting me chase my dreams! Can’t do it without you.

At 14, JK Racing, LLC gave me an opportunity I’ll never forget — putting me in a car with basically zero experience in the series and taking me under their wing. They along with Ayrton Houk Racing helped me grow into a driver who was more competitive and confident than I ever thought I could be.

I got to run a few races at the end of that first year and even picked up my first heat win on dirt. Year 2, they added a second car so BJ and I could both chase this dream. That #6 quickly became my bestie.

I finished my first full season 9th in points out of 20+ drivers — and I was the youngest guy out there.

That last race of that season was the one we’ll never forget. The #6 caught fire in crash at Anderson. Kevin still jokes that my mom was crying because “her baby was on fire,” while he was crying because “his baby” ( #6) was on fire. In reality, he was way more worried about me and just trying to lighten the mood.

Fast forward to this year… the #6 has just never been the same. We’ve chased gremlins all season, and the last three races have ended with finishes none of us wanted because of issues nobody can seem to figure out. My team has put in HOURS tearing that thing apart, trying to get it right.

We thought we finally had it. We saw it perform and were ready to send it at Salem last night.

Then we fired it up at the track… and the #6 decided to remind us it still had other plans.

Thankfully, the O’Gara’s had just bought a second car and brought it to Salem to shake down while they rebuild it. My dad went into full dad mode and somehow secured me a ride to drive last night — even though the car still needed some work.

Andy, Kyle and Brad went to work and got it ready just in time for practice.

And man… that car was ON RAILS.

6th fastest in practice/qualifying, finished 3rd the heat race and starting the feature from the 3rd position. For the first time in a while, I felt like myself again — up front and where I belong.

19 laps in, a lapped car took my brakes out and that ended our night.

Obviously not the finish we wanted, but I’m leaving Salem with something way bigger — my confidence is back.

Now I just need to get Sage to ward off whatever bad luck we’ve been carrying and we’ll be back on top before we know it.

Huge thanks to everyone who jumped in and made last night happen. Racing is a crazy sport, but nights like this remind me why I love it. Dive Rescue International - Public Safety, Pitcher Perfect, The Bin Blaster and Yellow Road Reality thank you for the support on the good and bad days. And to you, the fans, thanks for always cheering and supporting me!

Plymouth is not our friend…. Round 2 didn’t really go how we wanted.

I was supposed to start outside row 1 for my heat race, but with the weather they ended up cancelling the heats, so I started 20th in the final.

On Lap 19 there was an 11-car pileup. My first contact with another car knocked my brakes out, and after that I just had to take whatever was coming. There was nowhere for me to go.

Thankfully I didn’t flip, and repairs are already underway. Hopefully we’ll be back on track again soon.

Thanks to MEG & Associates and Dive Rescue International - Public Safety for helping make this happen.

To my crew — thanks for all the help and for getting me back out there.

And to my family and fans, thanks for always rooting for me and supporting me. It means a lot.

We’ll get it fixed and be back at it soon. 🏁
