Rode next to Beatrice on a 4 hr flight. She told me about living in the Great Depression, WW2 & the Vietnam War. She’s super proud of her kids/grandkids/great grandkids. I told her about sprint cars. Didn’t look at a screen the whole flight. Highly recommend👍Everyone has a story

151 days full recovery

254 doses of chemo, 1,980 medical procedures, 1 hero. Honored to be racing this fall in honor of Elayna, who lost her battle w/cancer on Aug. 22nd at age 9. This isn’t temporary marketing, it’s about raising money until there is a cure for kids who deserve more.

2 years ago today I dropped everything & moved my life to Indy. Today, 2 years later I received an opportunity of a lifetime. I’m looking forward to sharing about it; in the meantime I’m thanking God for all the ways He’s turned every challenge the past couple yrs into a miracle.

10 years ago I started with $800 from my piggy bank and a couple thousand in sponsorship. I wasn’t out to impress anyone or race sprint cars someday. I knew a dream like that would never come true for someone like me. I simply wanted to be a racecar driver. I’m glad...

Meet Makenna. She’d been waiting for this moment for so long since the quarantine that she refused to turn around for a picture. I think her way was the best way. Her face says it all. She truly gets it. Be more like Makenna. Spread love. It is possible.

For the 10 years I’ve been racing my trailer has never contained a pair of scissors. Every weekend I find myself in need of scissors, and every week I forget to buy some. If anyone would like to sponsor us a pair of scissors, I’ll put a very small sticker somewhere on the car👍✂️
