2008 Season Goals: "To work as hard as I can to make the LAMOT Late Models something I look back on someday and say I helped to make the division one of the best in Western New York. My wife and I will always try hard to promote auto racing as much as we can and race as much as my pocket book will let me, no matter what division I race in the future."

Other Information: "I'd like to thank Gordy Trank and his team with helping to make LAMOT. I think when every racer sees how much less money you have to spend to race it will put a big smile on their faces. I'd also like to thank Tim and Ron Bennett for giving us a chance to make LAMOT great."
