1) How long have you been racing? I have been racing for 7 years
2) In which class did you begin? I started in a factory stock at state fair speedway
3) What is your favorite track? I really like enid, but racing at any track is fun
4) What is your least favorite track? I would have to say clinton, i've never really had any luck there
5) What is your favorite track condition? I don't care to be honest, I prefer dry slick because the yahoos have a harder time on that stuff. But so do I.
6) What is the hardest part of driving SFS? It is a really intense place with alot of history. When i go out of town i don't really feel as much pressure, but there at SFS it's a whole different story
7) How did you choose your car number? Growing up playing sports I always wore #4 or #8 when i started in the factories Pat Roach was #4 and i think rhodes was racing then too. So i went with 48. Now i race what ever someone will let me drive
8) What is your favorite racing memory? All the years i had my dad to help my brother and i racing. He did more for us than we really appreciated i have a whole new respect for him. I'm having fun now but it will never be the same
9) What advice would you give to someone just starting out in racing? My advise would be that racing is supposed to be fun so slow down and enjoy it. So many people get caught up in winning and being the best. None of us are going to make it to nascar so just enjoy the ride
10) How much patience do you have when you come up on a driver that is obviously just learning the sport? I try to have as much as possible, but its hard sometimes
11) If you could change one rule in your class what would it be? To make the Reeds run on six cylinders
12) Driver or equipment, which is more important in winning? Why? I'll tell you a story. I went to a NCRA race at enid one time my second year in a modified. All the big guys were there with tubs of money in equipment and hualers. The guy that won came in a 80 something van and single axle trailer. To this day that is the fasted modified i have ever seen. So I'll go with driver
13) SFS throws a slow yellow. How much does that concern you as a driver? Do they throw any other kind???
14) If you weren't driving in your class, which other class would you like to try? Late models
15) Explain to the fan what it's like in the pits. Loud, dusty, dirty, all that fun kinda stuff
16) Have you ever had white flag fever? I race with my eyes closed so i don't pay much attention to flags
17) What sets apart the best drivers? Ability and willingness to win
18) What traits should a fan look for in identifying a skilled driver? In the factories i always thought it was the guys who could avoid the wrecks. Now its the guys that no matter what night they go to the front.
19) What other driver(s) at SFS do you most admire and why? The list is so long. but i grew up watching tony anderson, alan olivia, bobby smith, the reeds, and now i get to race against them its really cool. Its also cool to go out for mud pack next to the Jennings and burns and Flatt cause thats the closest to racing them i'll ever get
20) If you could change one thing about your driving style what would it be? I wish I had that wild winning determination that my brother or the reeds have. They would run over their mothers to win a race, that would be a good trait to have.
