The AUTOBIOGRAPHY Of

My Racing Career

I was born into a family of racers and immediately found an interest in racing. It was not until 2019 when I received my big break to become a professional racer. I started in quarter midgets racing locally at my home track in Waterford, Michigan. When started I partnered my family's team with Eddie Sachs Racing as part of their Driver Development program. My first win came at the very last race of the 2019 season where I won a 100 lap exhibition race for the track.

In 2020 I stepped it up running two classes of Heavy Honda and Heavy 160 (pictured left). It was my breakout season as I gathered a total of 9 wins across both classes of racing which eventually led to winning the track championships for both classes. I also made my first start in the infamous Rumble in Fort Wayne two day indoor race. My best finish was 5th in the second Heavy 160 feature.

In 2021 I made the switch to dirt oval flat kart racing at the Arthur Raceway in Reese, Michigan. Here I was able to further my race craft allowing contact nature of short track racing and finding the best racing line. My first season was a success as I, again, swept track championships in both of my classes of Blue-Plate Clone and Blue-Plate Predator. My first win is pictured right. that season I gathered 12 wins across both classes. I also had an entry in the 2021 Rumble in Fort Wayne running the Junior 3 go kart class with a best finish of 3rd on the first day feature.

2022 was a step up in classes at my home track racing in Clone Masters and Stock Predator Light. I gathered a number of wins before cutting my go karting program short to focus on racing sprint cars late in the season.

While still racing go karts, 2022 is where I made a big step up to race asphalt winged sprint cars for Must See Racing's Midwest Lights Series for Eddie Sachs Racing while carrying much of the same sponsors and number. I shocked the whole asphalt open wheel scene where in my second start ever, I scored my first win at the Kalamazoo Speedway. Right there was a start for a fight for the series championship, and I did not take me long to score my second win later that season at the Sandusky Speedway. I finished off 2022 with a 4th place point finish and the Rookie of the Year Award.

If I were to go for the championship, I needed to have a good car to combine my talent with. So, for 2023 Eddie Sachs Racing and Fast Company Motorsports built a brand-new chassis and car to compete. even though I got one win that season at the Bob Frey Classic at Lorain Raceway Park, I was able to match last year's points finish of 4th place.
