Career Highlights

The highlight of my career was winning the Buckeye National Outlaw Figure 8 Championship in 2023. It was the best redemption to start the season for my team and I after a devastating loss in Colorado to end the season in 2022. Being able to drive in the Outlaws division had always been a dream, but to win in Painesville was a day I will never forget.
