How long have you been racing? 2021 will be my 5th season
When does your season typically start and end? End of March, 1st of April
How many races do you participate in one calendar year? Typically over 50
How often do you practice/train? Most days
Why do you race? For the friends, family and fun. I loving going to the track and my dad races as well. My grandparents and great grandparents come to most of my races. I have also made a lot of great friends racing. Especially in the Midwest Jr. Super Series. We travel to several different states and get to race. That's a whole lot of fun.
What is your favorite racing memory and why? Winning in the loser's bracket was great and will always be a special memory. It was my first win, even though I didn't really win. Daddy was just as excited as me. We used the money to buy me a new motor. Now my dragster is faster.
What do you want to be when you grow up? I been thinking about it and I think I'd like to work with animals AND race. I love animals, except snakes and spiders. Driving, I mean racing a dragster is so exciting. The kids in my class think it's so cool. But, most important I do too.
If you were a racing coach, what would you tell your driver? Stay calm, take a deep breathe and focus on the tree. That's what my dad always tells me every round. Also, always shake the other kid's hand and tell them good race. Win or lose.
If you could have a racing superpower, what would it be? Always be .00 green
