Season stats..

We had a goal of running for national rookie of the year again and we ended up coming home 2nd to the #317 of Austin polonoski, congrats to him and his team. It was a close battle all summer long an came right down to the wire.. 7pts was the difference between us..
55th in wissota national points out of 680 registered bmod drivers
5th in track points at the norman county raceway
8th in points at the granite city motor park
Overall it was a really fun time all summer thru all the highs and the lowest of lows at times.. but for the first time in a couple years I honestly wasn't ready for the season to be over when it came time to park er for the year, the learning curve and the competition we race against around home is absolutely 2nd to none and we all know to be the best ya gotta race with the best so we just kept our nose on the grindstone an learned as we went along and had lots of fun doing it and met a lot of great new people we get to call friends after the long summer.
Last but not least I have a ginormous list of amazing people i gotta thank that were behind me in any shape or form they needed to be all season long and I greatly appreciate every single one of you more then you'll ever know

Ryan Satter Racing for turning a joke into reality when I sold my enclosed trailer and letting me steal your open trailer to use for the last 2 months of race season, that will mean more to me then you'll ever know. Thank you very much
Jeff Nelson for building me a safe fast hot rod as always.. for those who didnt know Jeff has built both of my cars I've had in my career and to be as competitive as we are with the "homebuilt" ironwe are workin with and building our own notebook sure does make a guy feel pretty awesome to run with the big money chassis with lots of tech support behind them.. thanks for always being a phone call away or being around the shop when stuff gets a lil western the week before.. thanks 3️⃣3️⃣
My awesome grandparents, you guys even with my ridiculously busy schedule all summer still made a point to come watch as much as possible and always watching results texting me good job or asking how it went will be something I will always notice and appreciate very much.. even if it takes me a day or two to reply.. im terrible about checking my phone.. thank you guys for all of your support over the years.
And last but not least..
My amazing girlfriend Sydney..
