All About DeAndre

How long have you been racing?
This will be my seventh year.

How did you get into Jr Dragster? 
I grew up around racing as my dad and grandpa both raced.

What is your favorite thing about racing?
How helpful everyone is. If you break something, there's always someone willing to help you fix it or let you borrow something.

What is your favorite track to race on?
My home track because it is set to close in 2020 so I won't be able to enjoy it much longer.

What is one word that describes you best?
Resilient because I don't let my things I can't change affect the way I race.

What sets you apart from other racers?
My drive because if I lose a race, I try to figure out why I lost and improve that aspect at the next race.

What are some of your racing accomplishments? 
2017
-Sacramento Raceway Runner-up for 13-17 year olds
-Runner-up at the Sacramento Divisional
2016

-Sacramento Raceway Runner-up for 13-17 year olds

2011

-Raced for the first time
-2 runner-up finishes
-Finished 3rd at Sacramento Raceway for 8-9 year olds

What are your goals for this season?  
My goal this season is to win a Wally because last season I lost in the finals during the divisional at my home track and I want to go all the way this year.  Plus, my dad has yet to win a Wally so it would be awesome to win one before him.

What activities do you enjoy outside of racing?
I am on my school's debate and mathlete teams, was in my school's play (Crimson House Murder), and play baseball when I have time.
