Just For Fun

Why do you race?
I have been around the track since before I was 4 months old. I got to watch my sisters race and I got to fall in love with racing while watching my sisters race.

What is your favorite racing memory and why?
I think my favorite memory is when I went to Eddyville Raceway for the Jr. Dragster nationals and I got out first round but I made it to the semi-finals in the consolation race. It was also my first race not at my home track.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to do something in the science or history field.

If you were a racing coach, what would you tell your driver?
Have fun.

If you could have a racing superpower, what would it be?
I think I would want the power to always get good lights.

If your dragster could talk, what would it say?
"Maybe you will finally get a good light."

What would you wish for if a genie gave you 3 wishes?
I would wish for safety, I would wish to never become greedy or rude, and I would wish that I will always have a great track family like I do now.
