Me & Tony Stewart getting ready to race go-karts.
|
Growing up in a rural upstate area of New York, I was quickly introduced to the local DIRT track scene at a very early age. It was then I became hooked to auto racing. I have been fortunate enough to see Jeff Gordon, & Dave Blaney race World of Outlaws Sprint cars, Ken Schrader & Tony Stewart race open wheel DIRT Modifieds, Martin Truex Jr. race in the NASACR Busch North Series, & Shawna Robinson race the Big Rigs on dirt tracks at Orange County & Lebanon Valley Speedways. We have a local 1/4 mile dirt track called Accord Speedway where I frequently go to see a good Friday night shootout, it's always a good time.
Through out the 1990's I worked as a pit crew member for Joe Winne Sr. a multi-winning DIRT track champion at Accord Speedway. It was quite an experience seeing it from the other end of the racing spectrum. Unfortunatly, Winne died during a practice session for the Eastern States 200 at Orange County Speedway.
I have been to several NASCAR races over the years at Dover Downs, Pocono, New Hampshire, & Watkins Glenn. In 2001 I had the chance to race Tony Stewart and some of his crew members at a go-kart track near Dover Deleware.
I have been a die hard NASCAR fan for nearly 20 years. I was and still am a big Dale Earnhardt fan, my heart was shattered on Feb. 18th 2001. Now I pull for Dale Jr. on Sunday's, but respect all the drivers out there risking their lives for something they love to do. What a great sport!
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ME. I HOPE TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU SOON!
