Goals:
My main goal in racing is to do the best I can do. I believe that if I work hard at it everything I want in racing will eventually come, it just takes patience and a lot of work. Other goals that I work for is to eventually get my pro license and do this for my living. They are big goals, but if I set little goals, I will one day reach those big ones.

For 2007 -
- Finish top 5 in Las Vegas US Open Arenacross
- Qualify for Loretta Lynn’s

Injuries:
I have broken a total of  11 bones within 6 years. My first year of racing I broke both my arms at once and had 2 plates on my left arm and 2 pins in my right. Shortly after that I broke my right arm in the same spot again and had to have it repined. Then shortly after that I broke my wrist and foot. And my latest injury was a collarbone broken in 2 spots and a broken shoulder blade and 1 rib. I’ve also broke my nose and my pinky toe. All of these are just little bumps in the road and a big medical big.

Achievements:
