We just finished the 2005 Points Season at Madera Speedway. We did great in the Late Model Premier Division with a Main Event win and 4 Heat Race wins!  I want to say thanks to my crew chief Ross Caudle and all my sponsors for their support, I couldn't race without help from each of you.  
I won the 2005 opening night Madera Speedway Late Model Main Event.  If you weren't there you missed the closest finish you could imagine.  Westmoreland  had the lead coming out of the final turn and I passed him at the line for the win by inches.

We got this Truck to race in the Davey Hamilton Super Racing League at Madera Speedway. I also ran it in the WCPT and Nascar Sportsman Divisions.  I had 2 great years in this competitive class finishing 4th in the Points Championship 2 years in a row.

1997 was my best year in racing so far.  I won several Trophy Dashes, Fast Times, Heat Races and Main Events.  I came within .002 of breaking the track record, and I won the Madera Speedway Track Championship for the Super Toyota's.  
In 1994 I graduated from California State University Fresno.  I was then ready to get serious with racing.  I soon moved up into the Super Toyota Modifed class at Madera.

I started racing at Madera Speedway in 1987 in the 200 lap Enduro StockCar class. After a few years I moved up to the Toyota Sedans.  I won many races in that class and had some good runs at the point championship but I was anxious to move up to bigger and better things.

I would like to say special thanks to my sponsors.  I couldn't afford to race if it were not for each of you.
